PHP include statements not executing on Ubuntu 12.04

Posted March 3, 2014 5k views
I am configuring PHP for the first time on my Ubuntu 12.04 distro and am not able to render my foo.php file to render any of the files attached with an include statement. For example, I have header.php and footer.php referenced in foo.php with . I can get a phpinfo file to run via in an info.php file, but when I hit foo.php, the include statements seem to not be rendering on the server. Any thoughts?

Looks like I lost some code/made some typos in the above post :P

Short story is that I am suspicious of include 'header.php' and include 'footer.php' statements not rendering on new LAMP distro. phpinfo() runs fine.

Sure thing.

Header - http://pastebin.com/6wSJ5mse
Body - http://pastebin.com/z1PijAXJ
Footer - http://pastebin.com/PuUpRb35

Also, my folder hierarchy is setup like this:

/www
-/html
-index.php
-/templates
-header.php
-footer.php

:( And since I'm not able to edit my posts, here's a better representation of the folder hierarchy:

/www
----index.php
----/templates
------------header.php
------------footer.php

You're trying to include files from 
/templates
which doesn't exist. You have to either use relative paths (./templates/header.php) or absolute paths (/var/www/templates/header.php).
