#14716 — PHP script error

Hi - 

Very new to PHP. I have a script (below) that I'm attempting to run on http://phpfiddle.org/. The purpose of using the script is to generate a series of png images that I'm hoping to use on another program. Unfortunately when I run it, I get the following error:

E_WARNING : type 2 -- require_once(main/startup.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory -- at line 39
E_COMPILE_ERROR : type 64 -- require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'main/startup.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php53:main/inclibs') -- at line 39


Please let me know if you have any solutions. Thanks!

- Semeon

Just as the message said - the file in your require_once() (startup.php)
call is not found.  Is it in the same directory as the script you're
calling it from?  What is in __FILE__ at the time of the call?

The way you're doing it is also dependent on the directory your running
script is in.  Once you get it working, if you move that script for some
reason, it will fail.  A more portable way of doing it is to base
everything off the root directory of your web server, which can be found
in $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

Just to clarify- Nothing is on the local machine except for the script above. The files I'm requesting are supposed to be coming PHP's GD Library: http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.image.php

And these form part of your local PHP environment do they?

Unfortunately I'm not understanding the question. 

Again, I'm still very new on PHP. This is my first use of this programming language.

After using XAMPP I'm getting the following message when trying to open the stimulus_image.php


Warning: require_once(C:\xampp\htdocs\amit/startup.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\amit\stimulus_image.php on line 12

So where are startup.php and stimulus_image.php ??

Hmmm, I see you are using Windows. So you must have installed PHP. Does
that PHP package have the GD Library within it?

stimulus_image.php is in C:\xampp\htdocs\amit\, and startup.php is
missing, apparently.

GD is delivered with XAMPP and is enabled by default.  However, that is
not the immediate problem, which is the missing startup.php.  I don't
know where this file is supposed to come from (maybe from a book or
tutorial), but apparently it contains at least the definition of the
class Input, which is used in stimulus_image.php.

BTW: Tim, your newsreader creates rather unconventional nested quotes;
usually there is only a single space after the last >, but your software
puts spaces between the quotes.

Ok, that's making a bit more sense. Startup.php isn't some sort of default php file that's already part of the GD Library?

No.  You don't need to include or require any .php files if they are
already part of the library.  They're already defined in PHP.

No it is not.  Either you can get the file, or you have to rewrite your
script.  As far as I can see, only the expressions
Input::get(...)->getValue() would have to be replaced, what could easily
be done with filter_input[1].  And of course, you would have to remove
the require_once statement that tries to include startup.php.

Good. That was where I was going, but if that's the case then that
won't be a subsequent problem :-)

Mmmm. Yes, I've seen that. This is Thoth, which is perhaps not clever
enough to add a space after the last quote. I've altered the default
quoting, but as you see, it now looks like there are no spaces at all.

Good, I'll leave it like that then.

Indeed.  However, I've just looked up RFC 3676 and the section on
Quoting[1] says that a trailing space and no trailing space are
semantically identical, but intermediate spaces are not.  So it seems
that it's more correct now (and my Thunderbird shows the colored quote
bars correctly).

By sheer coincidence, that applies to Tim’s posting.  Elsewhere it is just 
personal preference, however one can see the possibility for ambiguity of 
content; interesting.

I recommend to use the “[OT]” *tag* instead, in order to avoid the same.

Shoot!  I shouldn't have missed that.  Thanks for pointing out my mistake.

And also I'm saddened that there is no general standard.

ACK.  Thanks.

Once again I ask - does the file  c:/xampp/htdocs/amit/startup.php
exist?  You're including it, but the message indicates it is not present
- at least in the directory you requested it from.

require_once includes another file in the existing one.  If the file
cannot be included, you get the error you see.

Ah sorry. No there is no startup.php file in that directory. This file wasn't given to me.

Which is why it doesn't work.  You need to get that file from whomever
gave you the script.

And once you get that, you might find other things which are missing, also.
