Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2009 3:10 am Post subject: Newbie problem - probably wrong path variables

I am trying to display the number of people in the (phpfreechat) chat room on another webpage.
Chat page: www.nzmotorhome.co.nz/NZMotorhomeChat/chat.php.
Other page: www.nzmotorhome.co.nz/directory/directory.php.
In chat.php I have

Code:

//next 7 lines of code from phpBB "Sessions Integration"
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = '../NZMotorhomeForum/';
// $phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './';
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);

// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup();
.
.
.
.
$params["serverid"] = md5("ForumChat"); // calculate a unique id for this chat

In directory.php I have

Code:

<?php
require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/chat/src/pfcinfo.class.php";
$info = new pfcInfo( md5("ForumChat") );
// NULL is used to get all the connected users, but you can specify
// a channel name to get only the connected user on a specific channel
$users = $info->getOnlineNick(NULL);
echo '<div align="center">';
$info = "";
$nb_users = count($users);
if ($nb_users <= 0)
$info = "<center>%d users in the Chat Room</center>";
echo "</div>";
echo "<div>";
echo "<p>".sprintf($info, $nb_users)."</p>";
echo "<ol>";
foreach($users as $u)
{
echo "<li>".$u."</li>";
}
echo "</ol>";
echo "</div>";
?>

When I log in on chat.php and then open directory.php (note: the directory link on the chat page opens directory.html, not directroy.php), I get the following error

Quote:

Warning: require_once(/home/nzmotorh/public_html/directory/chat/src/pfcinfo.class.php)
[function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/nzmotorh/public_html/directory/directory.php on line 76

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/nzmotorh/public_html/directory/chat/src/pfcinfo.class.php'
(include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/nzmotorh/public_html/directory/directory.php on line 76

I've been trying to get this sorted. on and off, for weeks now. I feel it must be something really simple about defining paths that I don't understand.

Please can someone help me, or tell me what other information I need to provide.
This is just a test and eventually, when I get it going, I want to implement it in a phpBB3 overall-footer.php file.
