Why wont this work

Hello all,

I have created a folder on my root called articles, into that i have created a page using my normal template and called this page test.php when I type the path (http://www.visitdevonandcornwall.com/articles/test.php) into a browser i get this

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'Connections/accomm.php'

Can anyone help me out please

 

Sounds like a hardcode path in the template. Were all previous pages in the root?

Look out for some code including a file relatively. Because you went down the directory tree it can't find it no more...

 

Yep, all the previous pages are in the root

 

We'll have to see some of the .php file's code to help you out in detail.

 

Find....

require("Connections/accomm.php");

Change to...


require("../Connections/accomm.php");

 

As Noppid suggests:

<?php require_once('Connections/accomm.php'); ?>

to

<?php require_once('../Connections/accomm.php'); ?>

To make up for the folder change...

PS after fixing it you might want to obscure some of the paths posted to avoid evil eyes...

 

You stars!!!

Thank you, so that makes it look further up the root (or down)

 

.. tells it the parent folder, then it looks down from there for the given path.

. is the contents of a folder and the current location. .. is the parent.
