What is wrong with this attempt using php to include functions.php and header.php file?

Question

What, if anything, is wrong with this code? I'm a beginner. I'm trying to include a header file but when I test and try to load it says it's not working.

<?php include("http://test.orwallo.com/widget_corp/includes/header.php"); ?>

I'm pretty sure PHP doesn't say it's not working. What's the real error message? — mario

www.test.orwallo.com/widget_corp/staff.php will give you the error message — Leahcim

<?php require_once("test.orwallo.com/widget_corp/includes/functions.php"); ?> <?php include("test.orwallo.com/widget_corp/includes/header.php"); ?> — Leahcim

@Michael , we recieve internal server error 500; Probably you have the actual error? — Tasawer Khan

That gives a HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error. You'll have to look into your error.log to find out the reason. — mario

I can't tell for your HTTP 500 error. But you are clearly using include() wrong.

The include or require_once statement is used to load local php files. You should not have a reason to include URLs. Rewrite it to:

<?php
   require_once("./includes/functions.php");
   include("./includes/header.php");
?>

Adapt the path.

Including php files via http(s) is considerd a security risk. (and is blocked by default)
