Install issues - Install Path vs. Web root directory vs. Server-Document Root

[cmo]

Sorry.. had to get some lunch.

Next I am presented the path error.

Warning: require_once(C:/wamp64/www/users/helpers/helpers.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\webs\Reservations\users\init.php on line 22
Call Stack
# Time Memory Function Location
1 0.0360 247304 {main}( ) ...\index.php:0
2 0.0370 273544 require_once( 'C:\webs\Reservations\users\init.php' ) ...\index.php:9

So, as I mentioned above, my file path is 'c:/webs/Reservations' and this error is referring to the file path of the WAMP installation.

On checking the error in init.php identified I found that the issue is with the variable created on line 4.

Code:

$abs_us_root=$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

The server document root variable refers to the default web root as designated in the Apache configuration:

# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "${INSTALL_DIR}/www"

And, INSTALL_DIR is identified earlier in the configuration. For my Apache config:

Define INSTALL_DIR c:/wamp64

So, I definitely have to change that variable to point to my aliased file directory.
I change it to :

Code:

$abs_us_root='c:/webs/Reservations';

Upon refreshing the page, it did make a difference, but now I have a new error.

Catchable fatal error: Object of class __PHP_Incomplete_Class could not be converted to string in C:\webs\Reservations\users\classes\DB.php on line 51

Ok, back to some debugging.

As I'm following the code in init.php I notice on line 44:

Code:

$timezone_string = 'Africa/Abidjan';

I definetely set that to 'Chicago' so maybe someone needs to look in to why that is not changed.

Continuing through the init.php code:
-- ok alot of stuff going on, but we get down to line 92 to create the user:

Code:

$user = new User();

Following the User class now:

well... I followed along but the code jumps around too much to a whole day into it...

Anyone seen this error on DB.php line 51?

thanks,
