this form posts to a php file:
<form action="service/register.service.php" method="POST">
When the php file loads, it comes up with errors about this line:
3: require_once 'service/user/user.service.php';
The errors are:
Warning: require_once(service/user/user.service.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\TestApp\serviceegister.service.php on line 3
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'service/user/user.service.php' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in C:\wamp\www\TestApp\serviceegister.service.php on line 3
These paths are pointing directly to the actual paths.
Context
The calling PHP file is register.php, I want this form to send the data to service/register.service.php where it can be processed, if there are any errors send the user back to register.php or send them to their new profile page.
I've checked the spelling and it is all correct.
The directorys are:
root/register.php
root/service/register.service.php
root/service/user/user.service.php
I'm not sure why it is doing this. I have copied the require statement out of another working file
If your entry point is service/register.service.php then the working directory will be service. Therefore any relative paths will be interpreted from that. So loose the service/ prefix in the require_once:
require_once 'user/user.service.php';
Although you might want to consider having an initialisation script included that would set the working directory for all scripts to your root dir.
Can you try this -
3: require_once 'user/user.service.php';
