SeanJohn Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I'm trying to use the readfile() function to read a html page which has a video embedded (.swf file). When I call the function, it seems like it just loads the html file but without the dependent files (css,js, etc) When I call it directly it loads just fine. Created a hyperlink 'openvideo.php?id=video' that calls this function below: if($_REQUEST['id'] == 'video') { readfile('/usr/home/site.com/htdocs/content/videofolder/video.html'); } else { echo 'nada'; } Any help is appreciated.

requinix Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 readfile() doesn't "load" anything. The browser does according to what you tell it to load. The HTML and PHP files aren't in the same directory, are they? Because if they aren't then the browser will go looking for the other files in the wrong location...

SeanJohn Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hey thanks for your reply! Indeed the php file is in the root (/openvideo.php?id=video) and the videos are a few folders up /videos/ How do I read the html file along with the dependent files, js, css etc?

requinix Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 A few ways. Easiest is to use absolute paths like /a/b.css whenever possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
