Question
PHP include statements not executing on Ubuntu 12.04
- Posted on March 3, 2014
Asked by thezachbaker
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 <?php include ‘header.php’; ?>.
I can get a phpinfo file to run via <?php phpinfo(); ?> in an info.php file, but when I hit foo.php, the include statements seem to not be rendering on the server.
Any thoughts?

You’re trying to include files from <pre>/templates</pre> which doesn’t exist. You have to either use relative paths (./templates/header.php) or absolute paths (/var/www/templates/header.php).
:( And since I’m not able to edit my posts, here’s a better representation of the folder hierarchy: <br> <br>/www <br>----index.php <br>----/templates <br>------------header.php <br>------------footer.php
Sure thing. <br> <br>Header - http://pastebin.com/6wSJ5mse <br>Body - http://pastebin.com/z1PijAXJ <br>Footer - http://pastebin.com/PuUpRb35 <br> <br>Also, my folder hierarchy is setup like this: <br> <br>/www <br> -/html <br> -index.php <br> -/templates <br> -header.php <br> -footer.php <br>
