HELP Error when trying to create users in Phorum from main system

I am trying to create users in Phorum when they are created i the main system..
I have used the you made in another tread but get an error:
the code (with a change in sitename):
$curcwd = getcwd();
chdir("/hsphere/local/home/siteYY/siteXX/medlemv2/phorum");
define('phorum_page','create_user');

include("./common.php");
echo "Opret medlem";
/*phorum_api_user_save(array(
"user_id" => $idb, // or the user id from your main user database
"username" => $brugernavn,
"real_name" => $brugernavn,
"password" => $passencrypt,
"active" => $PH_status,
"hide_email"=> "TRUE",
"email" => $email1
));*/
chdir($curcwd);
the error:

Opret medlem Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './include/db/.php' (include_path='.:/hsphere/shared/apache/libexec/php4ext/php/') in /hsphere/local/home/siteYY/siteXX/medlemv2/phorum/common.php on line 146

Its seems like it includes the common.php correctly but fails the create the variabels for the database (running the script under /phorum directly without using the chdir works fine...
HELP :-)

I don't see what's going wrong for you. What seems to be missing, are the variables from include/db/config.php. Maybe $PHORUM is out of scope or so (although that shouldn't happen IMO). You could try adding this to the start of your code:
[code="php"]
global $PHORUM;
[/code]

Something to start with for debugging is checking if include/db/config.php is loaded when you start your script.

Hi Tried to include the line you gave, it did not work... config.php is loaded (tested by adding a extra varialbel and it came through perfectly...)....

I am really at lost here... any other ideas?

Based on the error, $PHORUM['DBCONFIG'] or at least $PHORUM['DBCONFIG']['type'] is empty. So try to track if that is setup correctly from include/db/config.php and track if it is still available when common.php tries to load the db layer code at line 146.

This is pretty wierd... as for testing I change line 146 to:

require_once( "./include/db/{$PHORUM['DBCONFIG']['type']}.php".test );

which gives the following error:
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './include/db/mysql.phptest' (include_path='.:/hsphere/shared/apache/libexec/php4ext/php/') in /hsphere/local/home/madam/madammangor.dk/medlemv2/phorum/common.php on line 146

So because I added some tekst at the end, suddently the $PHORUM has value...

it still only the adin that fails,,,
Phorum is working fine on it self...

I Am really lost...

Hi again
The $PHORUM variable is passed trough... changing line 146 to this:

require_once( "./include/db/{$PHORUM['DBCONFIG']['type']}.php".$PHORUM['DBCONFIG']['type'] );

gives the output:

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './include/db/mysql.phpmysql' (include_path='.:/hsphere/shared/apache/libexec/php4ext/php/') in /hsphere/local/home/madam/madammangor.dk/medlemv2/phorum/common.php on line 146

I just dont get it...

The weird continues:

changing line 146 to:
require_once("./include/db/{$PHORUM['DBCONFIG']['type']}.php".p );

gives:
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './include/db/mysql.phpp' (include_path='.:/hsphere/shared/apache/libexec/php4ext/php/') in /hsphere/local/home/madam/madammangor.dk/medlemv2/phorum/common.php on line 146

but

require_once("./include/db/{$PHORUM['DBCONFIG']['type']}.ph".p );

gives:

Opret medlem Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './include/db/.php' (include_path='.:/hsphere/shared/apache/libexec/php4ext/php/') in /hsphere/local/home/madam/madammangor.dk/medlemv2/phorum/common.php on line 146


I just dont get this...

the first line is from the include in common.php the second one is later after your print command.
you should check later in the script, the parts we aren't seeing there, what you are doing. I also recommend to change the common.php include to include_once.

Hi Thomas
I dont get what you mean... (my bad :-))
they are both examples of the same line in common.php (line 146)
I dont have a Print command any where?

sure from common.php but from different includes.
The first error message is with a wrong change on the first include.
The second error message is after your echo
[code="php"]
echo "Opret medlem";
[/code]

so you are including common.php twice. somewhere lower in your code.
