Fatal error on require once()

Question

I'm trying to build myself a website using PHP and MySQL. I get the below error:

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/konjam /public_html/demo/cp/db.php' (include_path='.:/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles /lib/php') in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/KD/demo/cat_details.php on line 5

Here's my code for the line where it says this specific error:

<?php ob_start(); session_start(); require_once("conf.php"); require_once("db.php"); $db = new db(); ?>

Any help guys?

Are you sure the db.conf file is within same location as file script? — marian0

use absolute paths for require include etc or take sure, that include_path is in your sens — donald123

Maybe it'll surprise you but there is no /home/konjam/public_html/demo/cp/db.php file and PHP can't include it in your code.

Make sure you specify correct path to that file (maybe use dirname(__FILE__) and relative path?) and that PHP have rights to read it.

__DIR__ works as well as dirname(__FILE__) unless you're on a really old version of PHP

@CD001: yep, I really don't know why I'm still using dirname(__FILE__).. ;)

@ElonThan I tried require_once(CP.'db.php'); and it still didn't work. I put the db.php file in a folder called cp.

the application is taken from a linux machine and put on a windows machine, in XAMPP. you have to search for all "/home/konjam/public_html" strings in your project folder in xampp and modify the references properly, from linux to windows. It would be best to work with relative paths.

Just changing the PHP include_path setting would probably sort it in this instance.
