Weird problem with PHP

[JR10]

I'm facing a weird problem,

I included 2 files, the mta_sdk.php and another one,

When I use mta::doReturn it doesn't work, and the script returns nil,

But if I remove the second include, not mta_sdk.php, it works.

I did try something else like executing a function defined in the included php, and it worked,

So the problem is not in the included php itself.

Doesn't work:

<?php 
  
    include "../mta_sdk/mta_sdk.php" ; 
    include "../file/test.php" ; 
     
    mta::doReturn ( "true" ); 
     
?> 

Works:

<?php 
  
    include "../mta_sdk/mta_sdk.php" ; 
     
    mta::doReturn ( "true" ); 
     
?> 

[Jaysds1]

So, this is suppose to return "true" to the server if the included php files work?

[JR10]

It's just supposed to return "true",

For some reason it doesn't when I add another include.

[Callum]

Have you tried including the PHP SDK last?

[DutchCaffeine]

What does the file 'test.php' contain?

[JR10]

Yes, didn't work.

It's weird, when I use mta::doReturn before including, it works.

Doesn't work:

<?php 
  
    include "../mta_sdk/mta_sdk.php" ; 
    include "../file/test.php" ; 
    
    mta::doReturn ( "true" ); 
    
?> 

Works:

<?php 
  
    include "../mta_sdk/mta_sdk.php" ; 
    mta::doReturn ( "true" ); 
    include "../file/test.php" ; 
    
?>

Sorry for double posting.

I tried changing the included file, and it worked.

So the problem is in the included file.

Well I tried out your PHP script on my server (just the "test.php"), and I get an error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function config_get() in /home/whocares/public_html/MTA/test.php on line 370

So it's either just me missing an include or whatever, or it's also on your side

As far as my PHP knowledge goes, I think this should work.

[JR10]

I don't think that's the problem, I tried another php script, it doesn't have any errors, and still it didn't work.

[Jaysds1]

If that test.php script gives out an error, then the whole script stops

Read more here:http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_includes.asp

[JR10]

Jaysds, read my last post...

I said I tried, another one which didn't have errors.

[Jaysds1]

k, try this:

if (include("mta_sdk.php")){ 
if (include("test.php")){ 
mta::doReturn("true") 
} 
} 

[NeXTreme]

Well just happens I'm working with callRemote also, and my PHP script returns nil, like yours, no matter what the code is, and my only include is the MTA SDK. Go figure.

[JR10]

@Jaysds1, Same.

EDIT:No, mine returns true if I include mta_sdk only, if I include second one, it returns nil.

Perhaps it's your webhost, I had such problem before.

[NeXTreme]

I don't know about the webhost, I have a couple other scripts that work perfectly.

[Jaysds1]

I know for sure you guyz connected it by using callRemote, and add the resource to the ACL.xml,

so it might be the MTA_sdk.php file then...

[NeXTreme]

I've made a new PHP file called "test.php" and put just a mta::doReturn in there, and it worked, it returned what it was supposed to. Funny thing is, I have this same code in the non-working script (with all other stuff commented out), and it doesn't return anything from there. WTF?

[JR10]

This is weird, I already tried that some time ago, and it worked, but for some reason it doesn't know.

[NeXTreme]

Solved my problem. I encoded the PHP script file in ANSI, previously it was encoded in UTF-8. Try to do the same with that file of yours and see if it works

[JR10]

It was encoded in ANSI, I changed it to UTF-8, didn't work in both cases.

[FatalTerror]

I'm facing a weird problem,

I included 2 files, the mta_sdk.php and another one,

When I use mta::doReturn it doesn't work, and the script returns nil,

But if I remove the second include, not mta_sdk.php, it works.

I did try something else like executing a function defined in the included php, and it worked,

So the problem is not in the included php itself.

Doesn't work:

<?php 
  
    include "../mta_sdk/mta_sdk.php" ; 
    include "../file/test.php" ; 
     
    mta::doReturn ( "true" ); 
     
?> 

Works:

<?php 
  
    include "../mta_sdk/mta_sdk.php" ; 
     
    mta::doReturn ( "true" ); 
     
?> 

Hi, i'm late?

JR10, use require function. It's the same thing than Include but it's better

When you include another code in the PHP file than the SDK, put the include line in last.

Like that:

<?php  
 require "../test.php"; 
 require "../mta_sdk.php"; 
  
 mta::doReturn(true); 
  
?> 

The true is the same true than on MTA, you don't must put it in string.
