Failed to open stream!??? Fatal Errors...

[stevebanks]

Hi I am a relative newbie to PHP. We are in the process of transferring a site from an offsite location, to inhouse. I have installed MySQL which is working with the DB i have. I have also installed PHP, which, seems to work ok.

When the user goes to login/register on a php page i get the following error...

Warning: main(d:\inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\website.co.uk\web[/URL] tf_class.php): failed to open stream: Invalid argument in D:\inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\instantcv.co.uk\web\instant_fns.php[/URL] on line 10

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'd:\inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\website.co.uk\web[/URL] tf_class.php' (include_path='.;c:\php') in D:\inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\instantcv.co.uk\web\instant_fns.php[/URL] on line 10

The code for instant_fns.php is:

<?

  require_once("d:\inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\website.co.uk\web\data_valid_fns.php");[/URL]
  require_once("d:\inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\website.co.uk\web\db_fns.php");[/URL]
  require_once("d:\inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\website.co.uk\web\output_fns.php");[/URL]
  require_once("d:\inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\website.co.uk\web\url_fns.php");[/URL]
  require_once("d:\inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\website.co.uk\web\user_auth_fns.php");[/URL]
  require_once("d:\inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\website.co.uk\web\order_fns.php");[/URL]
  require_once("d:\inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\website.co.uk\web\email_fns.php");[/URL]
  require_once("d:\inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\website.co.uk\web\rtf_class.php");[/URL]
  require_once("d:\inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\website.co.uk\web\cv_fns.php");[/URL]



?>

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why the error is occuring? WOuld it be rtf_class.php? What confuses me even more is that the error refers to d:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\website.co.uk\web

tf_class.php rather than \web\rtf_class.php

Any tips will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Steve

I'm not sure if this is any help, but what strikes me odd is that in each error message it states: ' tf_class.php' instead of '/rtf_class.php'. It really looks as if the code in instant_fns.php has a '\' instead of '/'. If this is the case then the 'r' is being treated as a special charater, or carriage return.

HTH,

weird isn't it... the line you refer to is definately as below:

require_once("d:\inetpub\[URL unfurl="true"]wwwroot\website.co.uk\web\rtf_class.php");[/URL]

This wouldn't cause a problem would it?

 

[Itshim]

Try changing all the '\' to '/'. I'm assumming you are running PHP on Windows, right?

 

[stevebanks]

i'll give it a go... yes i am running on Windows 2003 Server Web Edition

That seems to have solved that problem. Thank you.

Now, there seems to be something else going on...
I have a form which is submitting email address password via POST.

On the second page it is supposed to check if the email/password exist in the database.

 	  if ($email && $passwd)

I have tried just

echo "The email is $email";

and it won't call the email form variable. It just says "the email is" and that's it... any ideas???

Is there any reason for this? I'm sure this is the only problem left.

Thanks

Register globals problem. See Section 1.1 of this FAQ.
