The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

include APPROOT doesn't work in xampp

Asked by jimgordon in PHP Scripting Language, Apache Web Server

Tags:

Hi,
I have a script that randomly display some ads. Since I need it in the entire website, I put the related files in a single dir, then I used an include function to make the script read the related txt file containing the ads from any website level (folder). This works perfectly on MAMP (on a mac) and in my live server. I start working with windows vista some days ago, and decided to use XAMPP as my local testing server. It doesn't work anymore.

In my config file, I defined:
define('APPROOT', dirname(__FILE__));

In the script file, I have this (need to get the ads and display them randomly):
<?php $Page=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; $Filename="$base/xml_txt/annunci.txt"; $RunType=1; $Number=3; include(APPROOT ."/script/php/rotator.php"); ?>

The included file, rotator.php is in the code snippet.

I have this error:
Warning: file_get_contents(http://localhost/siti/mywebsite/xml_txt/annunci.txt) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Impossibile stabilire la connessione. Risposta non corretta della parte connessa dopo l'intervallo di tempo oppure mancata risposta dall'host collegato. in C:\xampp\htdocs\siti\mywebsite\script\php\rotator.php on line 30

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in C:\xampp\htdocs\siti\mywebsite\script\php\rotator.php on line 30
