hi i uploaded a website using the includes infrastructure exampled in this book my base uri for xamp is define ('BASE_URI', '/C:xamp/htdocs/'); and it works fine but im using filezilla to upload folders to my site hosting on go daddy and when i use my httpdocs path define ('BASE_URI', '/httpdocs/'); i get this error: PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/httpdocs/mysql.inc.test.php' (include_path='.;.\includes;.\pear') in G:\PleskVhosts\axebs.com\httpdocs\index.php on line 16 any tips on what i need to set my path to to work on filezilla??

hey man i just figured it out my apologies for all the issues.

yea im running on windows 64 bit. so i deleted the slash in front of C: now my base_uri looks like '/C:xampp/htdocs/' and im still getting the error message An error occurred in script 'C:\xampp\htdocs\html\index.php' on line 15: require(/C:xampp/htdocs/mysql.inc.php): failed to open stream: Invalid argument Array( [0] => Array ( [file] => C:\xampp\htdocs\html\index.php [line] => 15 [function] => my_error_handler [args] => Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => require(/C:xampp/htdocs/mysql.inc.php): failed to open stream: Invalid argument [2] => C:\xampp\htdocs\html\index.php [3] => 15 [4] => Array if i use mu base uri 'C:xampp/htdocs/' "without the slash behind it" i get an exceed execution time error ive tried multiple uri combinations could there be something more than a simple uri error maybe a path environment variable issue?

?? in my require statement the slash is "behind" C because in the books it says our path should look like => '/path/to/web/folder/' in which case my path is 'C:/Xampp/htdocs/' in my script statement yes the slash "\"will be in front of C because its the physical file of my computer

my code now looks like this and it pays to know Home About Contact Register An error occurred in script 'C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php' on line 7: require(/C:xampp/htdocs/mysql.inc.php): failed to open stream: Invalid argument Array( [0] => Array ( [file] => C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php [line] => 7 [function] => my_error_handler [args] => Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => require(/C:xampp/htdocs/mysql.inc.php): failed to open stream: Invalid argument [2] => C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php [3] => 7 [4] => Array ( [_GET] => Array ( ) [_POST] => Array ( ) [_COOKIE] => Array ( [sbOverlayID] => 51111639 ) [_FILES] => Array

ok I see how that my cause an error but Ive deleted the slash in front and its still saying "failed to open stream"?
