php parsing some includes others are not!

just after i get flippin the l.a.m.p sorted it does this.

why is it that if i include a plain file with plain html that it works fine but if i include the db connection script i have made it dosent want to know.

i get this error, yes. the file is uploaded. is there a place to change were the default like include goes to?

im stumped on this one.

heres the error, yes the file db.php is uploaded to my server...

Warning: Failed opening 'shop/db.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/html/index2.php on line 1

thanks .

btw the index2.php code

<?php include("shop/db.php"); ?>

have tried changing the path in the index2.php to "./shop/db.php" and "/shop/db.php" as advised but without any luck.

Thanks.

use an absolute path.

<?php include("/var/www/html/shop/db.php"); ?>

Thats all very well. I tried that, but no success. The problem as i described actually is that some includes are working others are not. this include does not work in the many ways i have tried, but others simply work with "includes/blah.php"
this is real weird.

Try ./ or ../ before that line, i.e.
"./shop/db.php"
"../shop/db.php"

Can't really say what might be the problem. Try checking that the files that are being included have the php code surrounded by <? and ?> or <?php and ?>

lol. here is my code. can you see anything wrong with it ?
the catsel.php is included fine.

 

<?php 
include ("shop/db.php");
include ("includes/catsel.php");
?>

There's one obvious thing with that code that suggests a possible cause.

Have you tried moving db.php into the includes folder and changing the include path to

 <? include ("includes/db.php"); ?>

If you've tried everything else that might be it. Could be server configuration.
