<?php

 

 

$live = false;

 

 

$contact_email = 'ross@blytt.co.uk';

 

 

define ('BASE_URI', '/public_html/html/includes/');

define ('BASE_URL', 'www.blytt.co.uk/');

define ('PDFS_DIR', BASE_URI . 'pdfs/'); // Added in Chapter 5.

define ('MYSQL', BASE_URI . 'mysql.inc.php');

 

 

session_start();

 

 

function my_error_handler ($e_number, $e_message, $e_file, $e_line, $e_vars) {

 

 

global $live, $contact_email;

 

 

$message = "An error occurred in script '$e_file' on line $e_line:\n$e_message\n";

 

 

$message .= "<pre>" .print_r(debug_backtrace(), 1) . "</pre>\n";

 

 

 

if (!$live) { // Show the error in the browser.

 

echo '<div class="error">' . nl2br($message) . '</div>';

 

} else { // Development (print the error).

 

 

error_log ($message, 1, $contact_email, 'From:admin@example.com');

 

 

if ($e_number != E_NOTICE) {

echo '<div class="error">A system error occurred. We apologize for the inconvenience.</div>';

}

 

}

 

return true; // So that PHP doesn't try to handle the error, too.

 

}

 

 

set_error_handler ('my_error_handler');

 

 

function redirect_invalid_user($check = 'user_id', $destination = 'index.php', $protocol = 'http://') {

 

 

if (!isset($_SESSION[$check])) {

$url = $protocol . BASE_URL . $destination; // Define the URL.

header("Location: $url");

exit(); // Quit the script.

}

 

}

 

 

Any help much appreciated.

 

many thanks

You're right in that its your file structure. If your root directory is public_html and includes is one below the root, I would think that

define ('BASE_URI', '/public_html/html/includes/');

should be

define ('BASE_URI', '/public_html/');

and

require ('./includes/config.inc.php');

should be

require ('includes/config.inc.php');

You may need to change all your require and include statements.
