Calling dynamic URLs in PHP5
Haha thats what I thought but it seems to work on the server. Strange php.ini config I guess, but I'm sure the settings have been set for a reason - most probably security, rather than just to be awkward. I'm checking out OpenX as this seems like a much more comprehensive approach to what I'm... -
Calling dynamic URLs in PHP5
After further research I found the following, which has helped a little: <?php $includeFile = file_get_contents("http://www.domain.com/manager/display/?cat=1&count=2"); echo $includeFile; ?> It is including the ads and displaying 2 of them (count=2), but no actual ad contents are being... -
Calling dynamic URLs in PHP5
I do get errors - 2 of them. The code: <?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/manager/display/?cat=1&count=2'; ?> ... results in the following errors to be output into the document. Warning: include(/home/ACCOUNT/public_html/manager/display/?cat=1&count=2) [function.include]: failed to... -
Calling dynamic URLs in PHP5
According to the color-coding of my code in EditPlus, it seems to be the equals sign in the dynamic URL that is causing the problems. Without these, eg. with a url to a static page, the color-coding appears fine. Maybe there is an alternative to get around this issue? Another symbol? Escaping... -
Calling dynamic URLs in PHP5
Thanks Phil. I see your point. Before the upgrade this worked fine, even tho no actual file is called. That is, using <? include('http://www.domain.com/manager/display/?cat=1&count=2'); ?> I guess it 'assumed' to use index.php at http://www.domain.com/manager/display/ - the only file within... -
Calling dynamic URLs in PHP5
Apologies if I'm confusing. This isn't my strong point lol. It's a script that handles ads for the site, delivering specific ads based on the category being viewed. So, in that sense, I think it makes perfect sense. I'll have a play around with the php.ini for now for a quick fix but I'd... -
Calling dynamic URLs in PHP5
Thanks. I'd already considered that, but isn't that avoiding the whole PHP5 compliance issue as well as the question/what I'm trying to get at? For example, should I need to move to a server that doesn't allow you to edit your own php.ini I'd be stuffed. Is there actually a way to call a... -
Calling dynamic URLs in PHP5
Just so it's clear, that was from another line I'd changed to the include() method you'd mentioned - just to avoid any confusion :) -
Calling dynamic URLs in PHP5
Ah, that's exactly what I was doing up until the php5 server upgrade. This seemed to stop working after the upgrade so I began using the php5-compliant alternative. Using your suggested include results in the following error: Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in... -
Calling dynamic URLs in PHP5
Thanks for the prompt response. Can you elaborate on your post? This form of include is new to me. The script is hosted locally, so I'm unsure as to why the above doesn't work? The path to the script is at the exact location as the above include would suggest - ie... -
Calling dynamic URLs in PHP5
I'm having a propblem with an old(ish) script I use for Ad Serving on a small site. It all happened when the server was upgraded to PHP5. I used PHP includes to call common features of the site - headers, footers etc. and the script used PHP includes to call ads from the relevant category...
