    <p>While cleaning up some old php scripts I've noticed some weird behavior with require/include statements when I try to use variables.</p> <p>On the live server, the following code works fine..</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $test = "http://localhost/elearning/trunk/mypage.php"; require "$test"; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>..but on my XAMPP installation ((basic package) version 1.6.7) I receive the following error:</p> <p>Warning: require() [function.require]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\xampp-win32-1.6.7\xampp\htdocs\elearning\trunk\test.php on line 22</p> <p>Warning: require(<a href="http://localhost/elearning/trunk/mypage.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost/elearning/trunk/mypage.php</a>) [function.require]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\xampp-win32-1.6.7\xampp\htdocs\elearning\trunk\test.php on line 22</p> <p>Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '<a href="http://localhost/elearning/trunk/mypage.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost/elearning/trunk/mypage.php</a>' (include_path='.;C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\xampp-win32-1.6.7\xampp\php\pear\') in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\xampp-win32-1.6.7\xampp\htdocs\elearning\trunk\test.php on line 22</p> <p>If I copy+paste <a href="http://localhost/elearning/trunk/mypage.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost/elearning/trunk/mypage.php</a> (directly from the error) into my browser, mypage.php loads. Is this an error in my configuration, or my approach?</p>

    1. COMicro-optimization note: `"$test"` and `$test` amounts to exactly the same outcome, only the former is more wasteful since PHP has to parse a string instead of simply using the variable as is. And unless you have a really good reason, there shouldn't be a need to use such an intermediate variable in the first place.

    2. COThanks for the "$test" and $test tip! In my defense, the intermediate variable is only for the sake of example (but a good point to make none the less). In the real world I'm trying to pull $CFG->wwwroot (or something like it) from a config file.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
