Hey, all! I've got a translator script that SHOULD work beautifully, but when all's said & done, I get loads of errors... Below is the cut & paste of it all:

>>>>>>>this is in my .htaccess file<<<<<<<<<<
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]{2})/(.*)$ /websitetranslator/index.php?lang=$1&url=$2 [L]

>>>>>>this is the script called in my page<<<<<<
<? include("http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]."/websitetranslator/flags.php?site_url=".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]."&page=".$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]."");?>

>>>>>>this is the error message that flashes on-screen<<<<<<<<
Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/.jazzycat/xionmac/phf.charliemcelvy.com/_beta_/index.php on line 97

The heck is wrong here?? Please LMK if you have an idea as to what's up with this...!

Best!!
Charlie

OK -- I've gotten past MOST of my errors; they apparently were stemming from DH's block of the allow_url_fopen function (why? my understanding is that there's no REAL security issue with leaving this active...??)

Anyway, here's the new error I get, having substituted the 'HTTP_HOST' with 'DOCUMENT_ROOT' in all applicable files:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/.jazzycat/xionmac/phf.charliemcelvy.com/_beta_/index.php on line 97

That line (#97) reads as such:

<? include($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]"/websitetranslator/flags.php?site_url="$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]"&page="$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]"");?>

Help! I'm trying to get a non-profit's site to have the ability to be viewed in most languages on the fly...!

Thanks in advance!
Charlie

You need to concatenate the strings and the vars in this line:
<? include($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]"/websitetranslator/flags.php?site_url="$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]"&page="$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]"");?>

so it looks like this:
<? include($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/websitetranslator/flags.php?site_url=" . $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "&page=" . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);?>

I believe that should fix it, sorry for the late reply.

Hey, late replies are better than none! I'm a beggar, can't be a chooser, too ;)

BUT, now I get this error:

Warning: include(/home/xionmac/phf.charliemcelvy.com/websitetranslator/flags.php?site_url=/home/xionmac/phf.charliemcelvy.com&page=/) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.jazzycat/xionmac/phf.charliemcelvy.com/index.php on line 98

HALP! :-)

Charlie

maybe try $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] instead of $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']

Well, the errors aren't getting any worse ;)

Warning: include(/index.php/websitetranslator/flags.php?site_url=/index.php&page=/) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.jazzycat/xionmac/phf.charliemcelvy.com/index.php on line 46

PS -- thanks for your help in this!
