php scripts keep failing
Can somebody tell me what's going on. I tried installing a poll. The admin section says everything is fine but when I call the script via include it come back with a mess of php stuff I don't understand. I opened up the file that I was including and narrowed the problem to not be the include method but in the file that I was calling.
I eventually gave up and installe a different poll script but everything happened the same again (but with different php errors). Can somebody look at these two links and tell me if I have something wrong on my server or something that would cause both scripts to fail even though both admin panels said they were set up correctly? What does all that mean, because I think I've got all my paths set up right.
Thanks.

poll2 is working for me.
I believe your include_path is borked. The second error in the first poll is an empty string.

It looks like you need to specify the full path, i.e. /home/username/www/poll/pollconfig.php in your include statement. Using /poll/pollconfig.php will work fine as a link but you need the full path in an include statement.
All the other errors are related to it.

question should be "Hear me now", not "here me now".
your path is incorrect on the first poll.
its usually something like, /home/user/www/html/poll/includes/config.inc.php

Thanks all. I got one to work by adjusting to the full path instead of just the html link. I'll try this method on the second and then decide which script I like better. Thanks for helping me pinpoint what was going wrong
