I am setting up an old website on my development server and I have come across a few PHP error messages, they are as follows;

File path /php/register_company.php

Warning: include(./_mrprivate/includes/dblogin.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Sites/Martin James/_mrprivate/includes/dbaccess.php on line 29

Warning: include(): Failed opening './_mrprivate/includes/dblogin.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /Sites/Martin James/_mrprivate/includes/dbaccess.php on line 29

Warning: include(./_mrprivate/includes/dbapplogin.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Sites/Martin James/_mrprivate/includes/dbaccess.php on line 30

Warning: include(): Failed opening './_mrprivate/includes/dbapplogin.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /Sites/Martin James/_mrprivate/includes/dbaccess.php on line 30

I have played with the file paths but the error message have not changed in the slightest!

    What is your question? Is there anything not clear with the error messages you posted? I also can recommend our error reference which often has some cool tips on common errors: [Reference - What does this error mean in PHP?](http://stackoverflow.com/q/12769982/367456) – hakre Jan 07 '13 at 11:46

    Where (what path) is the main PHP file that is including those files? – Pekka Jan 07 '13 at 11:47
  • /php/register_company.php – Brad Fletcher Jan 07 '13 at 11:50
  • Write your root path for an acceptable, or otherwise use full path with no `../`, read about `$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']` and understand concepts of `php.net/getcwd`... – Davit Jan 07 '13 at 11:51
  • @BradHouston: Just a hint: having the dot `.` in the include path is normally not recommended. I did have it in the past but since I switched to the magic constants some years ago, I never needed it any longer. It's a burden to have in the include-path because PHP will look in many places if it's in there and it's normally not needed (can be a performance drain as well). – hakre Jan 07 '13 at 12:43

Warning: include(./_mrprivate/includes/dblogin.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Sites/Martin James/_mrprivate/includes/dbaccess.php on line 29

Your code is trying to include

/Sites/Martin James/_mrprivate/includes/./_mrprivate/includes/dblogin.php

But I suspect you really want to include

/Sites/Martin James/_mrprivate/includes/dblogin.php

Don't change your include_path, either use the correct relative path (i.e. relative to the file containing the include/require directive) or an absolute path.

I assume you have code like this:

include('./_mrprivate/includes/dblogin.php')

With your configured include path:

include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php'

You would not need to add the . in front anyway. However as this is often a cause of problems, it is way better to relate to the magic constants __FILE__ and (PHP 5.3+) __DIR__:

include(dirname(__FILE__) . '/_mrprivate/includes/dblogin.php');

  • Don't know exactly, but as far as I remember the leading `.` will make PHP ignoring the include path, because in fact it explicitly says "from _here_". – KingCrunch Jan 07 '13 at 12:18
  • @KingCrunch: You remember right, I just verified what you said is correct because I wanted to know as well for sure. However that is only for `./`, not for `../` and not for `/` and not for `/./` (which looks like a sneaky secret move here). We should probably create a question for that with an answer. – hakre Jan 07 '13 at 13:02
  • Starting with a `/` usually means "Filesystem root" anyway :p But this shouldn't use the include neither, because ... yeah, it is bound to the filesystem root. I guess the "secret" is, that the include path only covers "really relative" paths, whereas `.` reflects the current working directory (which is "kind of" absolut) and `/` the root (which is really absolute). – KingCrunch Jan 07 '13 at 13:55
  • Yes but the root is not taken into account actually, so writing `file.php` or `/file.php` will make PHP look into the include-path. Only writing `./file.php` won't. – hakre Jan 07 '13 at 14:58
  • Just tested it, it is not true: Actually the file is `/usr/share/peclcmd.php` and `include 'peclcmd.php';` works, but `include '/peclcmd.php';` fails. Test from within interactive shell (`php -a`) with standard include path on ubuntu `.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear`. Also imo everything else would be confusing anyway ;) Especially because everything starting with `/` is _the_ absolute path of all absolute paths :D – KingCrunch Jan 07 '13 at 19:08
