I have a template that I am working on that generates dynamic content pulled in by dynamic includes. The problem is that although these include files exist (yes I check), they won't include or require and throw no errors even with error reporting. Here's the relevant code - notice that I am including other files in the same base directory with no issues i.e. nav.php.
<div id="main-wrap">
<div id="main" role="main">
<section id="header-img">
<div id="rotator">
<div id="controls">
<div id="rotator-next"></div>
<div id="rotator-prev"></div>
</div>
<img src="<?php echo $BD; ?>img/index-header.jpg" width="3416" height="362" alt="">
</div>
<?php
if ($PAGE !== 'step2')
{
require_once 'inc/form-main.php';
}
?>
</section><!-- /#header-img -->
<div class="clear"></div>
<div id="inner-page-content" class="wide locations">
<div id="inner-page-inner">
<?php
$path = "inc/pages/$service/$location.php";
echo $path . '<br>';
if (file_exists($path))
{
require_once "inc/pages/$service/$location.php";
echo '<pre>'; print_r(error_get_last()); echo '</pre>';
}
else
{
require_once 'inc/404w.php';
}
Notice that I have tried using a concatted string, and also tried passing a var to require $path. Neither work and no errors are being thrown even though error reporting on. When I echo $path out it shows the correct path. I've checked the perms on the associated files and even directories, and they are all set properly.
Could it be related to your PHP include_path variable? Is the page perhaps trying to require the files in relevant to the current working directory rather than from the site root?
