[Base_Uri And Url]

thanks a million

[Base_Uri And Url]

This is what I got "Document root: C:/xampp/htdocs" and have inserted it.

 

define ('BASE_URL', 'Document root: C:/xampp/htdocs');

define ('BASE_URL', 'localhost/');

define ('MYSQL', BASE_URI . 'mysql_inc.php');

 

and on index.php, I change this "require($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '\mysql.inc.php');"

back to "require (MYSQL);" but this is what I got:

 

 

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'BASE_URImysql_inc.php' (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 4

 

This is my second book after the recommended php for the web book but I don't remember seeing

anything like this.

Sorry, I'm new to this.

Hi Forum Members,

 

I've been struggling for some time on the above topic. I've tried everything I've read but

still can't get it to work in xampp. Can someone help me please.

 

Directories structure

C:xampp\htdocs\

 

 

 

The error I'm getting is as follows:

 

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'C:\xampp\htdocs\mysql_inc.php' (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line

 

 

And my code is as follows:

 

config.inc.php

 

//Base url constants declaration

define ('BASE_URI', 'C:\\xampp\htdocs\\');

define ('BASE_URL', 'localhost/');

define ('MYSQL', BASE_URI . 'mysql_inc.php');

 

//starting a session for the logins

session_start();

 

mysql.inc.php

 

<?php

//define constants for the db connection

DEFINE ('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

DEFINE ('DB_USER', 'AMPONSAH');

DEFINE ('DB_PASSORD', 'password');

DEFINE ('DB_NAME', 'ecommerce1');

 

//connect to mysql

$dbc = mysqli_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME);

//----------------------------- MYSQL CONNECTION ------------------------------------------------------

//establish character set

mysqli_set_charset($dbc, 'utf8');
