i have a file called, let's say, stuff.php. i put this code in it:

<?PHP
function doSomething() {
 # do something productive here
}
?>

and then in some other file i have this: (well call it otherstuff.php)

(Toggle Plain Text)

<?PHP
include 'stuff.php'; #yes it's in the right dir, etc.
function doSomethingElse() {
 doSomething();
}
?>

but when i open the page it says this:

Quote:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: doSomething() in /wherever_it_is/otherstuff.php

Does anybody know what may be causing this?

how do i set that include-path?

i believe it would be in your php.ini file but personally i dont have that line in my php.ini file and your code works just fine on my server. so my recommendation is to go and comment that line out of your php.ini file and it should then look for the files right in your current directory

hmm, now it seems to run correctly just throws a bunch of warnings. is it possible to disable verbose warnings in php?

big_k105 · Jul 29th, 2005, 5:20 PM

it would be in the php.ini file

Intimidat0r · Jul 29th, 2005, 5:28 PM

there's no other way (commercial server, they won't let me touch that stuff)

Best thing is to try to fix what's causing the warnings.

big_k105 · Jul 29th, 2005, 5:39 PM

yeah what warnings are you getting.

magic_e · Jul 30th, 2005, 2:22 PM

To remove error reporting without accessing php.ini can be done using the
error_reporting(); function (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/functio...-reporting.php)
am not sure if you require any access levels as i never use it.

if you simply want to supress a warning add an @ at the beginning of the line the error is reported at.

but like DaWei said it would be better for your script if you were to fix these warnings.

hope it helps
