include_once() stopped working in PHP5

as angellll said, its a permission problem to do with URL include http://....

Where is your script located? if it is located in the root directory of localhost why not try below:

<?php  		  	
// Links functions for all pages
$go = $_GET['go'];
 
switch ($go) {
  case 'sitemap' : 
  include_once('info.php');
  break;
  case 'help' : 
  include_once('contactus.php');
  break;
  case 'beta' : 
  include_once('beta.php');
  break;
  case '' : 
  include("index.htm");
  break;
 
}
     
?>

angelll: yes i edited the corrected php.ini because XAMPP has only one php.ini file in its php folder.

nizsmo: it is the root directory, and I tried the modifide codes you  posted but got the same error.

if with the modified code you get the same error, it must be some other place in the code that actually raises the problem?

can you try require('file.html") and see if it gives the same error?

I tried require() and gave me the same error.!

please copy and paste the error? EXACTLY the same? or slightly different?

Warning: require() [function.require]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in D:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 62

Warning: require(http://localhost/index.htm) [function.require]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in D:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 62

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'http://localhost/index.htm' (include_path='.;D:\xampp\php\pear\') in D:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 62

As angelIII said above allow_url_include needs to be on.

make a new file and put in the following code

<? phpinfo(); ?>

and check if allow_url_include is set to on.

Check also the path to the php.ini to make sure you are editing the correct one.

For any changes in php.ini to take effect you need to restart the server.

Can you try and change your code to:

  case 'sitemap' : include_once 'info.php';
  break;
  case 'help' : include_once 'contactus.php';
  break;
  case 'beta' : include_once 'beta.php';
  break;
  case '' : readfile("index.htm");
  break;

As mentioned, it is inefficient en unnecessairy to use include_once 'http://localhost/....'

Kind regards

ok, I tried everything you said and nothing changed,!!
but what I noticed the line allow_url_include is not showing in the PHP info page, even when i went to the file I see it set to "on" and I used the same php.ini file to edit that is listed under Configuration File (php.ini) Path : /usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini  and restarted apache couple of time but is not showing up !!!

then, let me repeat: check if you have a php.ini file in the windows folder.

@angelIII

He's probably running on linux, as his php.ini path is at /usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini

@maxnca,

Can you check if there is a php.ini at /etc/php.ini ?

-r-

Ok something is wrong here ....


Warning: require(http://localhost/index.htm) [function.require]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in D:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 62

 D:\xampp\htdocs\index.php === Windows machine

Path : /usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini === *inx

???

Sorry let me clear things up I'm running the file on both windows and linux on windows it is working fine now after adding the allow_url_include inside the php.ini
but in linux still not working even I added it in php.ini,

Roonaan: there is no php.ini in /etc
