Failed to open stream No such file or directory

Question

I'm using the new code what people have been telling me to use. I just cant figure out why the PHP is not being accessed. ok, the php are stored on a server else where and the folder structure is - public/work/return.php.

So far I have set my code as

  <?php
  include_once("pdo_mysql.php"); 
  pdo_connect("***", "***", "***");
  pdo_select_db("***");

but I keep getting the error of

include_once(pdo_mysql.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

What you posted isn't valid PHP. And I don't see any mention of `pdo_mysql.php` in your code -- is it in `Return.php`? — Barmar, Jan 03 '14 at 10:32
What do you not understand? "No such file or directory" is quite self-explanatory. — Sverri M. Olsen, Jan 03 '14 at 10:46
is there a `pdo_mysql.php` file in the same directory of your code? — Alireza Fallah, Jan 03 '14 at 10:49
@ Sverri M. Olsen, Thanks for your input and time.. but I have typed the correct path name for it to display. I might of just left something out.. — user2277471, Jan 03 '14 at 10:50
@Alireza Fallah No there is not, I thought just changing the old code from 'mysql_' to 'pdo_' would just work. — user2277471, Jan 03 '14 at 10:51
@ Alireza Fallah, ok guess I need to research into pdo_mysql.php — user2277471, Jan 03 '14 at 10:54

Now you have to use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] to access file path

For including files you can use : include_once __DIR__ . '/file/to/path'

Similar : include_once __DIR__ ."/pdo_mysql.php";
