PHP Include issue

[dylanpine]

Here’s my issue – a friend’s hosting expired and I offered to host it – on moving it to my server, nothing worked (see http://nordconsultants.com). After looking at the code, I found the issue.

When you click on a menu item, say “about us”, it is supposed to load copy-about.txt. Unfortunately, my server is set up differently and

/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/nordconsultants/copy-$id.txt

is not a valid path. The .txt files are in the same directory as the PHP file.

I tried:

copy-$id.txt

/copy-$id.txt

.copy-$id.txt

/domains/nordconsultants.com/html/copy-$id.txt

and nothing worked. I’m guessing I am just missing something stupid, but I am out of ideas. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

My PHP isn’t that strong lately, but I know in JS you’d have to pass in a variable like this:

something('/this/is/my/path/copy-' + $id + '.txt')

Still no dice. PHP is up to date (5.3.10). Not sure what’s going on here…

If it’s not showing up with that code, then it must be a path issue.

@TheDoc It’s in the same directory as page.php. Is that the correct code? Sorry, my PHP is very rusty.

[dylanpine]

That worked. Thank you both!

@traq Good to know. Always helps to understand why something doesn’t work. I will definitely check the rest of the site. Thanks!
