PHP include problem? any idea?

[Cartensy]

Hi, I try to configure a php applic to load a config file (the purpose is to
use in all the php pages variables definied in a config file)

Here is a small example which describe my problem:

My config file (test_config.ph p)
<?
$FOO=1;
print "IN REQUIRE FILE: $FOO\n";
?>

The page that require the config file:
<?
print "Hello<bR>\ n";
require "test_config.ph p";
#require "http://servername/test/test_config.php ";
print "<br>FOO from config:$FOO<br> \n";
?>

If I execute it, it works (until the file test_config can be found in the
include_path var defined in the php.ini)
The result is:
---------------
Hello
IN REQUIRE FILE: 1
FOO from config:1
---------------

If I comment the first require and uncomment the second one, PHP execute the
file,
but I can not use the variable ($FOO) definied in the config file
The result is:
---------------
Hello
IN REQUIRE FILE: 1
Notice: Undefined variable: FOO in E:\Web-repository\yca\ dns\test\1.php on
line 5

FOO from config:
---------------

Quite easy solution:

You can't require a file like that using windows, because:

"Windows versions of PHP prior to PHP 4.3 do not support accessing
remote files via this function, even if allow_url_fopen is enabled."

Try a work around with fopen instead.

What about changing test_config.php to
<?php
echo "<?php\n";
echo " \$FOO = 1;\n";
echo " print \"IN REQUIRE FILE: \$FOO\";\n";
echo "?>";
?>
in the remote server?


Not tested ... just a crazy idea :-)
