Test For Php Includes

Nov 30th, 2006

"I am having a few problems trying to get my php includes showing on my page.

Is there any easy/basic code I can insert on a page to test whether it is really working. The package I get from my host does allow php includes so there shouldn't be a problem there?"

To correctly include you should use the following code;

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<?php
include('file_i_want_2_include.php');
?>
<?php
include('file_i_want_2_include.php');
?>

This will allow you to include this file. The file must be in the same directory as the file you are inserting the include statement in. If not PHP will check your php.ini file for you include directories.
