<?php require_once('../Connections/agdb.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")

  if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
  }

  $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);

  switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;    
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
  }
  return $theValue;
}
}

$maxRows_principmenu = 10;
$pageNum_principmenu = 0;
if (isset($_GET['pageNum_principmenu'])) {
  $pageNum_principmenu = $_GET['pageNum_principmenu'];
}
$startRow_principmenu = $pageNum_principmenu * $maxRows_principmenu;

mysql_select_db($database_agdb, $agdb);
$query_principmenu = "SELECT * FROM apcategorie ORDER BY id ASC";
$query_limit_principmenu = sprintf("%s LIMIT %d, %d", $query_principmenu, $startRow_principmenu, $maxRows_principmenu);
$principmenu = mysql_query($query_limit_principmenu, $agdb) or die(mysql_error());
$row_principmenu = mysql_fetch_assoc($principmenu);

if (isset($_GET['totalRows_principmenu'])) {
  $totalRows_principmenu = $_GET['totalRows_principmenu'];
} else {
  $all_principmenu = mysql_query($query_principmenu);
  $totalRows_principmenu = mysql_num_rows($all_principmenu);
}
$totalPages_principmenu = ceil($totalRows_principmenu/$maxRows_principmenu)-1;
?>
  <header class="header">

you should check if the rendered page is as you expect to be
press control-u in browser and look if the source is right

open console and also verify if there are javascript|css error
when you get the origin of the error post it

diafol · Answer 4 · 2015-06-09T22:00:23+00:00

As I thought.

Just do:

require "header/header.php";

Rather than using relative links, you could also try using:

require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/Connections/agdb.php');

in the header.php file, and

require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/header/header.php');

in the template.php file.

Edit: actually, this may only work on Apache/Nginx servers, not sure if it would work on IIS.

Hmm. Absolutes and relatives can have issues. Using __DIR__ can help avoid issues, especially "include includes" type problems.

pixelsoul 272 Red Pill Featured Poster · Answer 8 · 2015-06-10T01:48:50+00:00

You're right, but __DIR__ includes the current directory of the file you call it on.
It would probably be fine if the file you're calling the include on with __DIR__ is in the root directory, but if it's in a sub directory, and the file you're including is up a level, or in another sub directory, it can be a problem.
