Question

I am trying to include a php document which name is news.php, but because I am doing this on a local server files navigate trough \ and not /

My code looks as follows:

<?php include("\xnews\news.php");?>

But because of the \n which in php means newline (I believe) the output views the error:

Warning: include(\xnews\ews.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Users\Johanne-PC\Desktop\EasyPHP-12.0\www\my portable files\Homepage\news.php on line 44

Is there any way I can bypass this and include it successfully?

Answer 1

Use \:

<?php include("\\xnews\\news.php");

You can also use single quotes (which don’t escape):

<?php include('\xnews\news.php');

Additionally, you can (edit: on all systems), use /:

<?php include('/xnews/news.php');
