PHP directory not correct - php

I have a /controller/controller.php file that runs this code:
include('../model/model.php');
print page_load();
The model/model.php loads correctly and the page_load() function gets loaded. However, the model.php file still 'thinks' that it is in the controller directory. So if I try and do any POST actions in the model.php, it looks in the controller directory rather than the model directory.
Can I please have some advice on how to fix this?
thanks

In model.php your need set action in form with correct path to post it to your model.php
<form action="/model/model.php">
// bla-bla-input-bla-bla
</form>

You are still inside the controller page [1]. As suggested by the name the controller page simply includes the the model page. What Sergey said is partly correct. You need to to assign a more complete path to the form's action parameter. As I am sure you will see Sergey's answer does not work. This is because you need to go up one directory. This is done by including two dots that is .. before the path.
<form action="../model/model.php">
You are already including the .. in your include statement. Just use it in the same way.
Please let us know if you need more help. :-)

I think you are looking for chdir function.
With it, you can change your current directory, allowing PHP to think you are in model/ folder.

Paths to differents files in one view - Joomla

I'm trying to put a link in a component's view file (default.php) to another file in the same view (default_formulaire.php) as you can see below:
But I really don't know how to access it in PHP.
I know that the default.php file's url is:
index.php?option=com_multicontact&view=reclamation
but I don't know that of default_formulaire.php.
Thanks for any help :)
The link to any view in Joomla is the following:
index.php?option=com_componentname&view=viewname&layout=layoutname
However, if the layout is omitted from the URL, then it is assumed that it is set to default. So, the following URL:
index.php?option=com_componentname&view=viewname
Will mean that the layout is default, which means that the default.php file will be loaded.
So, in your situation, the URL to load the default_formulaire layout will be:
index.php?option=com_multicontact&view=reclamation&view=default_formulaire
If you need to access a different layout in joomla then you need to add a layout value in joomla url like index.php?option=com_multicontact&view=reclamation&layout=default_formulaire

Laravel framework index.php

I have a project in laravel5 and I have directed virtual host on /public directory. Where should be my main page index.php now? There is some index.php in public folder already but it contains some content that I dont understand. So where should be my index now? Maybe in views?
If you are using Laravel 5.1 then your initial page should be this resources/views/welcome.blade.php.
You can change it to any name. But also you should change the same in your Controller.
Note : If you are rendering the view through controller then you should have the file name like this yourfilename.blade.php
Your views should always inside resources/views/*
The index file stays at the same place, to call a new file that you made, could be with HTML, you can put that file in the view and call it from the controller, hope this is the answer you are looking for.
When a request come to your server, the first file that it is executed is index.php. But this is not the file shown. In Laravel you don't have to force any file be named index.php. So let's imagine that you are trying set up a new index file. You have to use routes.php
routes.php
Route::get("/" , "HomeController#index");
HomeController.php
function index(){
return view("home/index");
}
views/home/index.blade.php
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p>Index page</p>
</body>
</html>
When a GET request to "/" it's done, the index function of the HomeController it's executed and the view index.blade.php, stored in views/home it's shown.
This it's the basic behaviour of Laravel. So you mustn't rename or move the index.php file in public folder.

include() doesn't work when my page has GET param

I have a header.php file containing my DOCTYPE and all my links/scripts.
I use
<?php
// HTML DOCTYPE insert
include 'header.php';
?>
at top of all my pages to have only one header for everyone, and it works fine.
Now, I have another page that get from a database a summary of my products information. When someone click on the "read more" link:
<p>
read more...
</p>
another page opens with the full information displayed...
Actually that works...
BUT on my new page (display_product.php/id=[anynumber]) my included file doesn't work. So I have no nav bar, no scripts, no stylesheet. Only the text from my database.
AND the weird thing is that when I copy/paste the HTML of my generated display_product page and launch it on my browser, it works... O-o
So the generated code is good.
AND the second weird thing is that when I get rid of the /?id... my layout works fine (but I have no text anymore, of course)
Does one of you have an idea why this crazy things happens?
"Hi guys, Thanks very much Fred -ii this was it. it works perfectly. Thanks sergiodebcn for your concerne."
Since other answers were given and did not solve the actual problem, am posting my comment to an answer, in order to close the question.
Remove the slash from /?id
The slash is trying to instruct the server to probably find a folder after a filename, which technically looks like is what's happening here.
The ultimate solution for include and require functions with path issues, is to use the absolute filesystem path to the file that you want to include or require.
i.e you may say:
include("C:\\www\\app\\incs\\header.php");
Hint
To learn how to set the absolute path for include dynamically for your project, check the source code of two files of cakephp framework:
index.php
webroot/index.php

How do you include PHP files in the view file of a Zend/MVC?

Maybe I dont understand the MVC convention well enough, but I'm trying to include a file to the index.phtml view for the main Index Controller, and it keeps giving me an Application Error. I have no idea what this error is or why its not working. But I'm using a standard include_once(...) in the view.
Is this even allowed?
A view in Zend is still just a php file. If you are getting errors in a view using include_once(), they are probably because the file you want can't be found in your include path. Trying dumping get_include_path() into the view and you will see what directories PHP is searching to find your included file.
As an alternative to include_once, you could use
<? echo $this->render('{module}/{action}.phtml') ?>
to pull in the file.
There are partial views for such purpose
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.view.helpers.html (ctrl+f Partial Helper)
The view is only the HTML that will be rendered. It's the very last thing that is processed. The controller is called first, then it calls whatever models are needed within. After passing all the data to the view, the view's HTML is rendered.
In short: whatever you include in the view, the controller isn't aware of it. You need to run your PHP includes earlier in the code. If you do it in the controller, it should work OK, I suppose (not tested, so I don't guarantee anything).
You can use Zend View Helpers for this purpose
last time this works fine for me. You can try this:
<?php echo $this->partial('common/left_menu.phtml'); ?>

How to switch layout files in Zend Framework?

I'm sure it's a simple one-liner, but I can't seem to find it.
How can I use a different layout file for a particular action?
Update: This worked for me, thanks!
// Within controller
$this->_helper->_layout->setLayout('other-layout') //other-layout.phtml
//Within view script
<?php $this->layout()->setLayout('other-layout'); ?>
From inside a Controller:
$this->_helper->layout->setLayout('/path/to/your/layout_script');
(via these docs)
EDIT: I should mention that the path is relative to whatever your layout directory is (by default, it's application/layouts/scripts/)
You can also use like this
// Within controller
Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance()->setLayout('layout_name');
//Within view script
<?php $this->layout()->setLayout('layout_name'); ?>
Your layout must be in /layouts/scripts/ folder, otherwise you need to specify the path also. No need to write .phtml, just name of the layout
