Include a link using PHP

Question

Today I'm trying to include a page in another one in PHP using the link instead of the path, so the code could look like this

include "http://localhost/mypage/myfile.php"

but it throws me the following error:

Warning: include(): http:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_include=0 in C:\xampp\htdocs\Lavoro\lang\en\login\home.php on line 10

I really don't know how to change these variable. I've tried using some line of code that I found also in this forum but nothing works, And another thing. I don't know which version of PHP I'm using.

Thanks for everyone who wants to help me

Answer 1

The warning is generated because you are using a full URL for the file that you are including. This is NOT the right way because this way you are going to get some HTML from the webserver. Use:

require_once('mypage/myfile.php');  //your file name

so that webserver could EXECUTE the script and deliver its output, instead of just serving up the source code (your current case which leads to the warning).
