include file not working

[SukhmeetSingh]

Hi friends,I am new to PHP and am including a file and this file is not generating any result in the file where it is being included. A copy of this file is lying on web server with exactly same code and same file that is included and is working there. Can somebody suggest where the problem is. I am using WAMPP.

How are you including the file? If you are including it using HTTP that will be an issue.

I am including the file without http i.einclude("filename.php");

Have you wrapped the line in php open/end tags?like this -<?phpinclude("filename.php");?>Also..have you enabled php wamp? Does the page have a .php ending? Check you have the file in the same directory or the paths are correct between page and include.

Yes, i have php tag and the strange thing is tht when i include some other file that contains eg. a simple print (echo) command, it works but not this specific file and this file is working on web server where it is published. I just formated system and installed windows and xampp and it did'nt work from tht moment.

It sounds like its something in the file your including?What is it you have inside the include file? If its server specific stuff, then that would explain it..like connecting to database etc..

Make sure error messages are enabled before you include the file. Also check inside the include file and make sure that error messages are not being disabled in the include file.ini_set("display_errors", 1);error_reporting(E_ALL);
