Hi, i've just signed up to your hosting over the last few days, and its been very fustrating that you don't allow the directive: allow_url_include.

Do you think that there could be anyway that you could turn it on? i've installed a login and hit counter script and i had to edit half of it.

I also want to 'include' my page list on all of my pages, to make it easier to update them, but the only way i would be able to do this is upload a page list to every directory, which defeates the purpose.

And i can't use SSI because i can't use PHP with SHTML for some reason.

Please help me with a solution, or just turn it on for me smile.gif

This is turned off by server administrators for a reason. To contact further regarding this matter, please visit xistosupport.com and submit a support ticket. smile.gif

You can write a simple script to generate list of pages and dump it as a file. If you are performing a relative directory watch how you are referencing, i.e.

include ../folder/file verses include ./folder/file

Test your script by using a simple include function test.

Has it worked with other web hosting services? Again watch out for proper path, i.e. ../file.ext or ./file.ext

If you can post your partial code perhaps we can figure it out together.

Here is the part of the code where i put my SSI in:


CODE
<div class="menu">
<!--#include virtual="pagelist.html"-->                    
        </div>


Am i doing something wrong? i save it as index.html. If i save it as .shtml the include works, but the php i use for the site login dissapears, so i either manually update every single one of my pages everytime i want to add a link in, or getting rid of my site login.

Is there any comprimise? or am i doing things wrong?

Thanks for any help smile.gif

Why not save the file as index.php and use a PHP include instead? Isn't allow_url_include for remote files? You shouldn't have a problem using the following code for an extension that can process PHP and if the file is located in the same directory:
CODE
<div class="menu">
<?php include "pagelist.html"; ?>
</div>

If i'm not mistaken, on Trap17, index.php has more priority than index.html.

I've just done that for all of my pages, now for some reason my page has gone completely messed up when i used the '>' symbol in some of my PHP login code:

CODE
Welcome back, <?php echo $qls->user_info['username']; ?>.


It seems that the '>' has been interpreted as the php closing tag for some reason, now my page messes up: http://say-help.trap17.com/

Any help with this? once thats sorted everything will be fine smile.gif

That's odd. But it seems like you tried to "short cut" the code; i'm not entirely sure, since i can't see the rest of the code. But rather than placing the PHP ending tag after the left curly bracket, try something like this:
CODE
{
echo "Welcome back, ".$qls->user_info['username'];
}
?>

(assuming there's no else.)

Here's the full code:

CODE
<div class="topbar">

There have been <?php include ("counter.php"); ?> hits.<br>
<?php
// Look in the USERGUIDE.html for more info
if ($qls->user_info['username'] != '') {
?>

Welcome back, <?php echo $qls->user_info['username']; ?>. Click <a href="http://say-help.trap17.com/login/logout.php">here</a> to logout.<br><br>
Click <a href="#contactinfo">here</a> to view your contact information.<br>
<a href="#membersonline">Click here to view the current members online.</a>

<?php
}
else {
?>

Welcome back, please click <a href="http://say-help.trap17.com/login/login.php">here</a> to Login, or <a href="http://say-help.trap17.com/login/register.php/">here</a> to Register.

<?php
}
?>


If its not to much trouble do you think you could sort any problems out? smile.gif

I'm downloading a PHP debugger now so hopefully i can work errors out myself now.

Try the following and see if it works:
CODE
<div class="topbar">

There have been <?php include ("counter.php"); ?> hits.<br>
<?php
// Look in the USERGUIDE.html for more info
if ($qls->user_info['username'] != ''){
echo "Welcome back, ".$qls->user_info['username'].". Click <a href=\"http://say-help.trap17.com/login/logout.php\">here</a> to logout.<br><br>
Click <a href=\"#contactinfo\">here</a> to view your contact information.<br>
<a href=\"#membersonline\">Click here to view the current members online.</a>";
}
else {
echo "Welcome back, please click <a href=\"http://say-help.trap17.com/login/login.php\">here</a> to Login, or <a href=\"http://say-help.trap17.com/login/register.php/\">here</a> to Register.";
}
?>
