PHP functions

[Mike]

This is baffling to me. When I write a function, and call it, I get an error. BUT, if I just copy the damn thing and paste into the script I want to use it in, it works fine.

I have

include ("includes/functions.php");

at the start of my script, then the function name where I want to use it. The errors I'm getting are on the functions.php script page.

Any ideas?

My brain is a little fried today, but me let me make sure I have this right. You can't call any functions from include files?

are you sure you are calling the right file?

Also: One of my servers was being a cunt with capitals the other day.

Name or service not known in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/halfmoononline/includes/functions.php on line 66

Prob a DNS issue... change the call there from yourdomainname.com to the IP or the server/site.

Yeah, calling the right file. And using the correct function name. All I did different was C&P the code from the function into the page I wanted to use it on.

I'm confuzzled...

K, so should I use an absolute path rather than a relative one?

IP like below...

My guess is you are using $ftp_server ='ftp://domainname.com'; ???

$ftp_server = '200.200.200.200';
$ftp_port = 'port';
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server,$ftp_port);

Okay coolness, makes sense.

Well, turns out, I needed to call the "includes/functions.php" file by entering the full URL. Not sure why that worked, but it did.

Thanks for the help!

Out of curiosity, did you ever try:
include ("./includes/functions.php");
