Fatal error: require_once():
Question
I'm getting the following error:
Warning: require_once(D:/xampp/htdocs/inc/head.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\\xampp\\htdocs\\ecommerce1\\index.php on line 3
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'D:/xampp/htdocs/inc/head.php' (include_path='.;D:\\xampp\\php\\PEAR') in D:\\xampp\\htdocs\\ecommerce1\\index.php on line 3
I have the following code : located in D:\\xampp\\htdocs\\ecommerce1 Index.php
<!--head-->
<?php $title="Gamer"?>
<?php require_once $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]. '/inc/head.php';?>
<?php require_once $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]. '/inc/menu.php';?>
<!--body of the page-->
<!--footer of the page-->
<?php require_once $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]. '/inc/footer.php';?>
`
This is the head.php which is located in D:\\xampp\\htdocs\\ecommerce1\\inc
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title><?php print $title ?> </title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/style.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="/jquery/jquery-1.12.3.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

Unless you explicitly change the DocumentRoot setting in Apache's httpd.conf , the Document Root is by default in D:/xampp/htdocs .
So you need to call:
<?php require_once $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]. 'ecommerce1/inc/head.php';?>
instead of
<?php require_once $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]. '/inc/head.php';?>

Do this in your index.php.
<?php $title="Gamer"?>
<?php require_once 'inc/head.php';?>
<?php require_once 'inc/menu.php';?>
<!--body of the page-->
<!--footer of the page-->
<?php require_once 'inc/footer.php';?>
Hope this helps.

There are two methods to include files in php
Method 1: include()
<?php $title= "Gamer"; ?>
<?php include('inc/head.php');?>
<?php include('inc/menu.php');?>
<!--body of the page-->
<!--footer of the page-->
<?php include('inc/footer.php');?>
Method 2: require_once()
<?php $title= "Gamer"; ?>
<?php require_once('inc/head.php');?>
<?php require_once('inc/menu.php');?>
<!--body of the page-->
<!--footer of the page-->
<?php require_once('inc/footer.php');?>

As a beginner you should know when to use include() and when to use require() .
In your case, use include() instead of require_once() .
The reason behind this is that if the require_once() fails to load a file, then the script execution would stop right there. If you use include() it would just throw an error and would continue execution.
So, when to use require_once() over include() ?
Use require_once() when including PHP(or important server-side) scripts and include() when including template-like files.
Take a look at this example:
<?php include_once('inc/head.php');?>
<?php include_once('inc/menu.php');?>
<!--if including a script-->
<?php require_once('inc/footer.php');?>
Note: It's good practice to use brackets and treat those functions like functions.
