it is possible you are doing multiple requires for the same file try
require_once ("dbconnect.inc");

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Help me pleaase !!!!


Greetings,

Can anyone please help me. I am having this weird problem. I am using PHP
4.1.1 on windows as an apache module (sapi). Everything was working
perfectly, until today. I dint even do anything and things stopped working.
I built this database application. I connect to the database using the file
dbconnect.inc. But when i use

require ("dbconnect.inc");

it doesnt work and i get this error message:

Fatal error: Failed opening required '1' (include_path='') in
c:\apache\htdocs\jokes\submit_joke.php on line 3

I am not doing anything wrong, because the application was working
absolutely fine until today. There are no typos and no other silly mistakes.

Take for example this file, index.php

<?php

 require ("dbconnect.inc") or die();

 echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"submit_joke.php\">\n";

.
.
.
?>

Here the require works fine. The values are read from the database and
inserted into the form at proper places. But when form is submitted
(submit_joke.php) I get the above mentioned error. Its happening in all my
applications which were all working fine.

submit_joke.php is as follows:

<?php

 require ("dbconnect.inc") or die("require failed!");

 // or die ("require failed.");

 $joke_date = date ("Y-m-d");

 echo $joke_text . "<br>";
 echo $joke_date . "<br>";
 echo $joke_category_id . "<br>";

 $query = "INSERT INTO new_jokes VALUES
('','$joke_text','$joke_date','$joke_category_id')";

 $result = mysql_query ($query) or die ("mysql_query failed.");

?>
