Simple PHP Code Not Working?

I have some php code. In the code I put links im using it so that when I update the links on my website it does it on all pages.

The code works fine untill I place it in a folder other than the root directory.

The error I get is:

Warning: main(affiliates.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/pecli/public_html/gaming/PS3.php on line 216

Warning: main(affiliates.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/pecli/public_html/gaming/PS3.php on line 216

Warning: main(affiliates.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/pecli/public_html/gaming/PS3.php on line 216

Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening 'affiliates.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php') in /home/pecli/public_html/gaming/PS3.php on line 216

Code (markup):

The PHP code is:

<div id="cont">

		
		<ul>
		<li>
		<a href="#" onClick="MyWindow=window.open('http://www.xninelivesx.com/wowgold.htm','MyWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=230,height=108'); return false;">WOW Gold</a> - <i>5% Off</i></li>
		</ul>
		<p><i>&nbsp;&nbsp; Online Flash Games</i></p>
		<ul>
		<li><a href="http://games.itarea.org">Jocuri flash</a></li>
		<li><a href="http://www.ejocuri.us">Jocuri barbie</a></li>
		<li><a href="http://www.24play.org">Jocuri gratuite</a></li>
		<li><a href="http://www.e-jocuri.us">Jocuri online</a>
		</li>
		</ul>

	</div>

Code (markup):

The code to link the php file:

<?php include("affiliates.php");?>

Code (markup):

How can I fix this problem? I tryed putting the full path to the php file and it still didnt work.

 

go to affiliates.php on line 216, make sure that the ps3.php file exist..

 

There is no line 216

The affiliates.php code is:

<div id="cont">

		
		<ul>
		<li>
		<a href="#" onClick="MyWindow=window.open('http://www.xninelivesx.com/wowgold.htm','MyWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=230,height=108'); return false;">WOW Gold</a> - <i>5% Off</i></li>
		</ul>
		<p><i>&nbsp;&nbsp; Online Flash Games</i></p>
		<ul>
		<li><a href="http://games.itarea.org">Jocuri flash</a></li>
		<li><a href="http://www.ejocuri.us">Jocuri barbie</a></li>
		<li><a href="http://www.24play.org">Jocuri gratuite</a></li>
		<li><a href="http://www.e-jocuri.us">Jocuri online</a>
		</li>
		</ul>

	</div>

Code (markup):

Although the page im using it on is not specified. I also want it an all of my webpages in different folders.

 

<?php include("/folder/affiliates.php");?>

Code (markup):

Does that help, im am no expert and i'm not sure I understand your problem properly.

 

try

 <?php
include('folder/affiliates.php');
?> 

PHP:

 

make sure your affiliates.php are in the right directory, including subfolders.

 

Php is telling you that that file can't be found. I believe that there's something wrong with your path... or maybe the file doesn't exist. You should check that.

 

yea matty, check that ill take a look at it later too.

 

Your afiliates.php doesn't exist in the location you specified.

 

This is still not working, the affiliates.php is in the root directory. And I want the code to be linked inside a php file named PS3.php

The PS3.php is in a different folder called 'gaming' not the root directory

 

hmm try with whole url

http://yoursite.com/affiliates.php

<?php
include('folder/affiliates.php');
?>

PHP:

 

I already tried that but thanks.

Is there any reason it works with all files in the main directory but doesnt work with any file in a different folder? Is it because im linking to a different folder and you cant do that?

 

Show us: PS3.php -- and tell us the absolute path to the index.php..

 

Put this in PS3.php:

<?php echo dirname(__FILE__); ?>

PHP:

Then in affiliates.php:

<?php include( "whatever_the_above_says/PS3.php" ); ?>

PHP:

Hard-coded include path indeed, but it's the easiest if you can't get things like this working.

 

I would try this other

<?php 
include "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/folder/affiliates.php;"
?>

Code (markup):

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; will always return your full URL address

 

well ya i mean if it's

- affiliates.php
--ps3.php

you'd need to change it to <?php include ("../affiliates.php");?> when you call the file from ps3.php.

 

this is a screen shot of the php code if that helps any one to solve this.

 

any one solve this?
