I'm trying to include a php-file in another one (as the very first thing), because I need the variables, which are results of an MySQL-Statement. Here is the file whith the include:index.php:\[code\] <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); //No errors are shown require($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."php/db/acp_settings_db_conn.php"); echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; //doesn't work ?> /* * some html code, which isn't shown either */\[/code\]this is the file which get's included:\[code\]<?php//Get configuration values (static) from filerequire_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."acp_settings_db_conf.php");//Create new object out of connection to db$db = @new mysqli(MYSQL_HOST, MYSQL_USER, MYSQL_PASS, MYSQL_DB);//If there aren't any errorsif(mysqli_connect_errno() == 0){ //Write query, in this case get every row from table $query = 'SELECT * FROM `meta`'; //If you could prepare query if($meta_settings = $db->prepare( $query )){ //Execute query $meta_settings->execute(); //Bind results to custom variables $meta_settings->bind_result($html_language, $site_author, $site_keywords); //Fetch result $meta_settings->fetch(); } else { //If you couldn't prepare query echo "There is a problem with the query"; }} else { //If you couldn't connect to DB at all die("No connection possible: " . mysqli_connect_error());}//Close connection$db->close();?>\[/code\]The included file works pretty well (checked it with echos), now the include is working aswell (if I have something echoed in the included file, it pops up on the index.php). But after the include, nothing else is shown. So no php-code is working, nor any html is shown.I tried an include 'file.php', but that did not work aswell.So since I spend my evening on this, I'd be happy if someone could help me. Those are my first steps in PHP, so be gentle
