require and include problem: "does not support seeking"

[lukelukeluke]

Hi there,
i have a problem with include() and require().
It works fine for me to require something into a page with the following order:

<?php
require('../dev/test.php');
?>

but if i try to put the following into a page with the absolute path with url of the page integrated,:

<?php
require('[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.domain.com/testfiles/dev/test.php');[/URL]
?>

then it gives me this error ontop of the page:
[highlight #FF99FF]
Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in /home/

http://www/web728/html/lookass/index2.php

on line 2
[/highlight]
(the include works, the site is displayed, but i got the error on top of it. I need an include with the full path... Has this something to do with the CHMOD status of the files on the server??)
Thanks a lot for help!

Are you running PHP 4.3.2? There's a bug in that version which causes this.

If the file is on the local fileserver, you should be using filesystem paths, not URLs anyway. Fetching the content via a URL is resource intensive and slower.

One site I looked at claimed that if you're running PHP as an Apache module, you can work around the problem using the

Options -Indexes

Apache runtime configuration directive.

In my experience using URLs for an include will result in the parsed content being passed to the script rather than the source code.

So

<?php
function foo() {
  echo 'Do nothing';
}
?>

When included by a URL will have absolutely no effect. Perhaps whatever the output of your required file is is causing the error?
