N00b question - PHP-Editors

Cait · #1 (**permalink**) 2004-12-12, 01:26 PM

Ok i have a question..

I made a first php page today and well.. Its not working out right..

All of the pages in the main directory work fine but when it gets into the subdirectory.. it doesnt..

http://flatface.net/~hamtaro/php/

Thats the site..

The subdirectory page is called 'books'

http://flatface.net/~hamtaro/php/books

It says that all the pictures and stuff is IN the books directory insted of the main directory (php)

So.. how do i get it so it thinks everything is stored into the php directory insted of the books directory?

The coding for books/index.php is

Code:

<html>
<head>
 <title>GravyChikan.TK</title>
<? include("../phpezmenu.php") ?>.
<?php
 css()
?>


</head>
<body>


<?php
 topheader()
?>

Im not sure what the problem is, can you be more clear?

As for the actual coding, I see tons of mistakes and just bad coding all over.

Always use the full tag for opening (<?php ) every line must end in a semi-colon (

Combine php instances as much as possible.

When you use include() it's the equivalent of inserting the file at the point where you called include(). So when you include the phpezmenu.php file it's working directory is now ./books not the parent directory. To solve your problem, then you can either

use absolute addressing in your phpezmenu.php file eg . /path/to/stuff/it/is/looking/for (server addressing, not client addressing)
move your files that phpezmenu.php is trying to use according to the books directory.
add an ../ to the addressing to the files that phpezmenu.php is using.

well as far as the PHp goes i didnt write /ANY/ of the php coding but the problem is..

It says all of the files are in /php/books

when they are in /php

so therefor, it shows them as broken links

are they arent in the folder php/books

any help? >_<

BTW: I tried adding the ../ to the books.php and it still wouldnt work right..
(it works right with html ...)
