PHP technical question

[idlehands]

Hi all,

I'm trying to implement some PHP code for a comments system on my site.

I've set it all up properly and I'm at the implementation stage.

According to the readme I have for the script, I have this to do:

How to use

"To show the comments on a page copy and paste the following code:

If your site uses php:

<?php require("/path/to/your/www-home/comments/comments.php"); ?>

OR

<?php virtual("/comments/comments.php"); ?>

(could not work with some php versions) "

Now, I use nvu as an authoring tool and I know how to insert PHP code, but what I was wondering is what I should put in the 'path/to/your/www-home/' bit.

I have the comments folder in the public_html folder of my site.

Hope someone can help!

Thanks

Rob

Hmm, on bb2 it works fine, but i don't know for the bb3 version

(presuming it's in public_html/comments/comments.php and your page is in public_html)
<?php require("./comments/comments.php"); ?>

You could use the eact url for the file but I think x10 has disabled includes over urls?

It's really odd actually, it seems no matter what I try no PHP script will execute on the site

If i navigate directly to http://MYDOMAIN.x10hosting.com/comments/comments.php then the comments box/system works fine, but I'd rather have it embedded under an article so folks can comment.

Is there any way to do that does anybody know?

post your script (the one where you want the comment box to appear). give it's file location so I can see if you have the path wrong.

It's ok - I had the ending of the address as .html - so of course it wasn't working.

Changed to .php and it's working fine.

D'Oh!

Thanks guys!
