Also, try this code: CODE <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> <title>Testing PHP include functions.</title> </head> <body> <a href="?p=idx">Index</a> - <a href="?p=test">Test Page</a> <?php $page=$_GET['p']; switch($page){ case 'idx': include (".../includes/testphpinclude.html"); break; case 'test': echo 'Test!'; break; } ?> </body> </html>
It seems odd that its not working, perhaps just write a very simple php page with just an ECHO in it to see if it works or not. then follow the steps already said about putting it in the right place and such.
If it still doesnt work i would suggest trying XAMPP as its very easy to install and use. Uses a simple installer and an even simpler control panel for starting and stopping php, sql, mail servers, and ftp server. You can google the name and normally find it near the top if you wanted to use it. If you want to keep trying with this then i would use just the ECHO command and if it works you will see the text and if not you will get some sort of error. Also if you did not delete the original php files you could find where they are located and make sure your php files are in the same directory. And you might want to try taking down any firewalls you have as some of them might get a little worried about accessing the localhost. Mine gave me lots or alerts when i was using FF to access the localhost address, that was until i made a rule for it so try that too.
Ahh it works now it was truefusions find, I forgot to add This- }. Now I can't get the include() function to work. Weird.
i think you have one extra dot in your include code..
CODE include (".../includes/testphpinclude.html"); should be CODE include ("../includes/testphpinclude.html");
Ahhh ok or could i just put no dots at all? What should be in the include file? the text is-
QUOTE Testing the php Include Function! Thank you guys for your help! QUOTE(Imtay22 @ Apr 14 2007, 01:12 PM)  [. . .] [1]could i just put no dots at all? [2]What should be in the include file? [1]If you have no dots, then the folder "includes" with all of its files in it would have to be located in the DOCUMENTROOT folder (which is probably "htdocs", assuming the file you're testing is located in the same folder; or whatever DOCUMENTROOT is set in the Apache httpd.conf file). Two dots mean "up one folder"; one dot means "current folder". If you have no dots but the path starts with a slash (/), then that means it'll look in the root folder. [2]Whatever you want. 
Okay thanks everyone I hope it works now! I have index.php in the htdocs folder, and the include file in htdocs/includes/testphpinclude.html. It still is not showing anything when I click on Index. Im going to upload it to the trap.
EDIT= When I uploaded to to the trap, it wored fine! Check it out here. That was weird..
