changing directory

benc811 · 12-24-2005, 10:04 AM

I am trying to write a script that needs to find info in another directory of the server i.e. http://www.here.com/this/mainfile.php needs to find files in http://www.here.com/other/findthis.inc anyone know what i should put i have tryed just writing out the address but it cant find it. should I CHMOD the .inc file?

gamex · 12-24-2005, 10:33 AM

Well, are you going to include the file? You can use the full path, like

/home/username/public_html/other/findthis.inc

or do something like

include('../other/findthis.inc');

Well I am including a php file that then includes its own files and finds if a user is logged in or not. If not then it displays a login form. The file works fine on its own and shows the login form when logged out and text if logged in. But when I include it into the new page it always displays the log in form even when logged in. Maybe I asked the worng question before.

Can I pm you all the code I cant seem to figure out the problem?

iNod · 12-24-2005, 10:43 AM

Or you can use

PHP Code:

  chdir("../directory");

Yea, you can PM me the code, or it would probably be better to post it here so everyone can see it

benc811 · 12-24-2005, 11:33 AM

Ok well here is the first page that gets called

PHP Code:

  <?php

 
$phpbb_root_path = '';

 
define ('IN_PHPBB', true);

 
if (!file_exists($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc'))

{

    die ('<tt>

          $phpbb_root_path is wrong.</tt>');

}

 
//

// phpBB related files

//

 
include_once ($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');

include_once ($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);

include_once ($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/bbcode.' . $phpEx);

 
//

// Fetch All related files - we do need all these because the portal is a

// huge example

//

 
include_once ($phpbb_root_path . 'mods/phpbb_fetch_all/common.' . $phpEx);

include_once ($phpbb_root_path . 'mods/phpbb_fetch_all/stats.' . $phpEx);

include_once ($phpbb_root_path . 'mods/phpbb_fetch_all/users.' . $phpEx);

include_once ($phpbb_root_path . 'mods/phpbb_fetch_all/polls.' . $phpEx);

include_once ($phpbb_root_path . 'mods/phpbb_fetch_all/posts.' . $phpEx);

include_once ($phpbb_root_path . 'mods/phpbb_fetch_all/forums.' . $phpEx);

 
//

// start session management

//

 
$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_INDEX);

init_userprefs($userdata);

 
//

// since we are demonstrating span pages we need to set the page offset

//

 
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['start']) or isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['start']))

{

    $CFG['posts_span_pages_offset'] = isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['start']) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['start'] : $HTTP_POST_VARS['start'];

    if (!intval($CFG['posts_span_pages_offset']))

    {

        $CFG['posts_span_pages_offset'] = 0;

    }

}

 
// fetch new posts since last visit

$new_posts = phpbb_fetch_new_posts();

 
// fetch user online, total posts, etc

$stats = phpbb_fetch_stats();

 
// fetch online users

$online = phpbb_fetch_online_users();

 
// fetch five users by total posts

$top_poster = phpbb_fetch_top_poster();

 
// fetch a random user

$random_user = phpbb_fetch_random_user();

 
// fetch forum structure

$forums = phpbb_fetch_forums();

 
// fetch a poll

$poll = phpbb_fetch_poll();

 
// fetch a single topic by topic id

// You will need to specify a certain topic id to use this function.

// The first post of that topic will be displayed in a box to the upper right.

#$topic = phpbb_fetch_topics();

 
// fetch latest postings

$CFG['posts_trim_topic_number'] = 25;

$recent = phpbb_fetch_posts(null, POSTS_FETCH_LAST);

 
// fetch postings

$CFG['posts_trim_topic_number'] = 0;

$CFG['posts_span_pages']        = true;

$news = phpbb_fetch_posts();

 
//

// disconnect from the database

//

 
phpbb_disconnect();

 
?>

<div align="center">

<!-- USER logged in-->

<?php if ($userdata) { ?>

<?php if ($userdata['session_logged_in']) { ?>

you are logged in<br>

<a href="<?php echo append_sid($phpbb_root_path . 'privmsg.php?folder=inbox'); ?>"><?php

if ($userdata['user_new_privmsg'] == 0) {

echo $lang['No_new_pm']; }

elseif ($userdata['user_new_privmsg'] == 1) {

echo printf($lang['New_pm'], $userdata['user_new_privmsg']); }

else {

printf($lang['New_pms'], $userdata['user_new_privmsg']); }

?></a>

<?php }

} ?>

<!-- USER logged in-->

 
<!-- LOGIN -->

<?php if (!$userdata or !$userdata['session_logged_in']) { ?>

<form action="http://www.annoytheworld.com/forums/login.php" method="post" target="_top">

<input type="text" name="username" size="20" maxlength="40" value="Username" /><br /><br>

<input type="text" name="password" size="20" maxlength="25" value="Password" /><br /><br>

<input type="hidden" name="sid" value="<?php echo $userdata['session_id']; ?>" />

<input type="hidden" name="outside" value="1" />

<input type="submit" class="mainoption" name="login" value="Login" />

</form>

<?php } ?>

<!-- LOGIN -->

</div>

This can be seen here

And For the page that calls it

PHP Code:

 
<div align="center"><?php include('http://www.annoytheworld.com/forums/mods/phpbb_fetch_all/examples/portal.php'); ?></div>

This can be seen here on the left panels the one with the login boxes.

gamex · 12-24-2005, 01:48 PM

So you want to replace that last line with something like this?:

PHP Code:

 
<div align="center"><?php include('../forums/mods/phpbb_fetch_all/examples/portal.php'); ?></div>

benc811 · 12-24-2005, 02:10 PM

I want to change $phpbb_root_path so that I can move portal.php into a different directory .../newATW/ to be exact.

iNod · 12-24-2005, 02:28 PM

Where it says

PHP Code:

  $phpbb_root_path = '';

Replace the '' with where you want to put it..

If you want to put it in the directory newATW (/newATW) and have PHPBB in the root directory (/)

Change it to

PHP Code:

  $phpbb_root_path = '../';

I did this off my head it may not work correctly if it doesn't I will fix it for you.

iNod.

benc811 · 12-24-2005, 02:33 PM

Yea I know all that but the forum is in /forums/ Its right here http://www.annoytheworld.com/forums/portal.php

iNod · 12-24-2005, 03:35 PM

So you want to move portal.php to
http://www.annoytheworld.com/newATW/portal.php

Forums are at
http://www.annoytheworld.com/forums/

Correct?
