Whenever, i tried to run this code by typing in my address bar localhost/photo_gallery/public/admin/index.php. It will display an error like this:

Warning: require_once(\C:\wamp\www\photo_gallery\includes\config.php): failed to openstream: Invalid argument in C:\wamp\www\photo_gallery\includes \initialize.php on line 16.

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '\C: \wamp\www\photo_gallery\includes\config.php'(include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in C:\wamp\www\photo_gallery\includes\initialize.php on line 16

Please, tell me what to do? Am a beginner startup webdesigner and am getting stuck with this fatal error.

  • Use define instead of defined – Hkachhia Dec 07 '12 at 06:28

  • The answer you were given explains your error perfectly. We don't spoonfeed people, the error is that the file doesn't exist. Now deal with it however you'd like. – Madara's Ghost Dec 07 '12 at 09:01

DS is extra in following line:

define('SITE_ROOT', DS.'C:'.DS.'wamp'.DS.'www'.DS.'photo_gallery');

Please remove it so it become

define('SITE_ROOT', 'C:'.DS.'wamp'.DS.'www'.DS.'photo_gallery');

use define instead defined
