Hello, I have a very simple form created with the help of Zend Framework with only one text box that loads fine on my two development machines (Win and Linux) but generates 2 warnings and a fatal error on my production Linux machine. For this test I am using PHP 5.2.3 and I added the path to the Zend Framework Library in my php.ini file. File permissions are good (everyone can at least read). I have added the PHP code here for completeness, but it might not be important for this problem. The error messages below are what I really need help with. Contents of formtest.php: require_once('formclass.php'); $f = new ZDF(); $request = new Zend_Controller_Request_Http(); $view = new Zend_View( array( 'basePath' => '/templates' ) ); $view->addHelperPath( 'Zend/View/Helper/', 'Zend_View_Helper' ); echo $f->render( $view ); Contents of formclass.php require_once('Zend/Form.php'); require_once('Zend/View.php'); require_once('Zend/Controller/Request/Http.php'); class ZDF extends Zend_Form { public function init() { $this->setAction( 'testform1.php' ); $this->setMethod( 'post' ); $this->setAttrib( 'id', 'testform' ); $e = $this->createElement( 'Text', 'firstname', array( 'label' => 'First name', 'required' => 'true', 'invalidMessage' => 'This field cannot be left blank.' ) ); $this->addElement($e); $this->addElement('submit', 'Submit', array('label' => 'Submit')); } public function setView(Zend_View_Interface $view) { parent::setView($view); foreach ($this as $item) { $item->setView($view); } return $this; } } Here are the warnings and the error that I get: Warning: Zend_Loader_PluginLoader::require_once() [function.Zend-Loader-PluginLoader-require-once]: couldn't resolve host name in /usr/local/php5/lib/php/library/Zend/Loader/PluginLoader.php on line 389 Warning: Zend_Loader_PluginLoader::require_once(Zend/Loader/PluginLoader/Exception.php) [function.Zend-Loader-PluginLoader-require-once]: failed to open stream: Success in /usr/local/php5/lib/php/library/Zend/Loader/PluginLoader.php on line 389 Fatal error: Zend_Loader_PluginLoader::require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'Zend/Loader/PluginLoader/Exception.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php:/usr/local/php5/lib/php/library') in /usr/local/php5/lib/php/library/Zend/Loader/PluginLoader.php on line 389 Please note that the script got to line 389 of the PluginLoader.php file, which means that it was able to load that file, which furthermore indicates that the include path is correct and working. However, it cannot open the file Zend/Loader/PluginLoader/Exception.php. This file exists and has read permissions for everyone. Another really perplexing issue is that when I add some debug code in the PluginLoader.php file just before line 389 and call file_exists('/usr/local/php5/lib/php/library/Zend/Loader/PluginLoader/Exception.php') it returns false. When I open a console and copy and paste this absolute path into a call to vi for example, it opens the file. So the file exists, php was able to open the PluginLoader.php at an earlier point file but now all of a sudden it cannot open a file that clearly exists. when I hard code the absolute path on line 389 the first warning changes to Warning: Zend_Loader_PluginLoader::require_once() [function.Zend-Loader-PluginLoader-require-once]: URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL in /usr/local/php5/lib/php/library/Zend/Loader/PluginLoader.php on line 389 My first reaction was that this is a permissions problem, but even after doing a chmod -R 777 on the Zend directory it does not work. My next guess was open file limit, but my hosting companies support told me the limit is set to 4000 and it is not even coming close to that. Any ideas?
