    PHP guys- i need help.. its a small thing

    I am looking for a solution to a news ticker that I use on my site...

    Take the following in mind my site uses 1000 plus pages and the ticker is on every page and the pages are in folders.

    I used to use <?PHP include("http://site.dotcom/ticker.php");?>

    and i tried <?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/updates.php'); ?> and it doesnt work... I still get the error you can see this via ffgenesis.com I am testing it on an old site .

    This no longer works anymore, I am looking for a simple way to solve this issue once again and not a big code considering its a tiny code already.

    Thanks in advance,

    P.S If I sound stupid it been a while since I've coded I may be out of date for 2 years.

      the use of fopen requires a setting in php.ini that may be disabled

      fopen opens files locally or via extenals calls <-- which i am guessing is your problem
      since you are using a http:// in your include and this feature may be disabled as its a security concern
      Delete this account, i am done here

          Mike is right above, if it's your box change the value in php.ini

          If it's a host where you don't have access try putting in your php file

          ini_set('allow_url_fopen', TRUE);

          however there are a few settings ini_set doesn't have permission to change and this *may* be one of those.

          However, I recommend using Smarty or another template engine for PHP to begin with, so you keep your PHP and HTML nice and clean and seperate.
