Answer 1

The file simple_html_dom.php is not where you’re telling PHP to look for it.

require_once('../simple_html_dom.php');

To be safe, try using the full path instead of a relative path.

require_once('E:\wamp\www\in.com\components\simple_html_dom.php');

BTW, if the full path above is incorrect, then that is your problem. This is the path that PHP is trying.

To clarify: I’m only suggesting the OP switch to absolute paths to identify and confirm the source of the issue. Going to production with absolute paths is rarely a good idea.
