I have my site working on php includes and I created a page that has cutenews embeded on it and it works fine on there but it shows the error message.

eg.
ERROR! page not found!

Try echoing out where you're looking for it.

change; include to echo.

You're probably looking in the wrong directory for it.

Where is "Error: not found" generated in? Unless it's a PHP error, in which case it'll be "line XX in file.php", if so, paste that segment of the file please.

Yes not all tags are there because they arn't really needed.

Is..


include("/home/zipped/public_html/site/backend/show_news.php");the line that's giving you the file not found error? If so, check it exists at that ^ location.

Also I hate using absolute directories (unfortunately sometimes required), try using a relative path.

Cutenews works, and doesn't look like a cutenews error?

I Know, it has to do with the site... any ideas..?

Oh and incase you know, why when index.php is visited is it blank and not showing home.php?

Either PM me or post the PHP code for index.php, and I'll have a look at both.

elseif (isset($page) && !@include("$page"))Incorrect usage of include.

Use file_exists (http://php.net/file_exists) instead.

Also, change the elseif to just an if. There's too many if statements there for it to be executed correctly.

edit:
oh and it displays a blank page because of this line..

include("blank.php");
Fehm
02-09-2009, 01:11 PM
include("backend/show_news.php");


Try changing it to the relative link as oppose to the other kind :P

If it doesn't work, im sorry xD

So like

include("backend/show_news.php");

Um, more or less..


elseif (isset($page) && !@include("$page")) {
becomes..

if (isset($page) and file_exists($page) === false) {

Made the change and still "page not found"

<?php
if (isset($_GET['page']) === true) {
$page = stripslashes($_GET['page']);
if (file_exists($page . '.php') === true) {
include $page . '.php';
} elseif (file_exists($page . '.html') === true) {
include $page . '.html';
} elseif (file_exists($page . '.txt') === true) {
include $page . '.txt';
} else {
echo 'Error: page not found.';
}
} else {
include('blank.php');
}
?>
Replace your current PHP code with that. It's more efficient and.. correct. Let me know if it still occurs afterwards.

Thank you for your help, it doesn't occur anymore.. one last thing say in the navigater I had index.php?page=foo which is in the same directory as index, title as foo.php how would I link to say /folder/file.php ?
Heinous
03-09-2009, 09:36 AM
index.php?page=/folder/file

Should work.
Shibby-Shabs
03-09-2009, 10:01 AM
Ok that doesn't work and also when I load index.php it shows blank content instead of home.php
Heinous

Works. Don't have a backslash at the start.

And change include('blank.php') to home.php

ok thank you
EDIT: Doesn't work, when you press login it goes to /site/login.php

You have to modify your actual PHP files to use the index.php?page=XXXXX system.
