PHP connecting to database

Question

I have created a web chat application and whenever I enter the username and password I created it comes up with this error:

Warning: include(../errors/err.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Users\Win8\Documents\EasyPHP\data\localweb\web chat\chatbox\inc\connection.php on line 10

Warning: include(): Failed opening '../errors/err.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in C:\Users\Win8\Documents\EasyPHP\data\localweb\web chat\chatbox\inc\connection.php on line 10

What does this mean?

It is a warning that there is a missed file which cannot be opened, and it's name is err.php. Maybe you have to create an empty err.php file in C:\Users\Win8\Documents\EasyPHP\data\localweb\web chat\chatbox\errors.

What is the document root of your webserver? – MohMul15 Apr 22 '17 at 21:12
If you are not familiar with php, can you tell me how did you configured the web server so I can determine the case? – MohMul15 Apr 22 '17 at 21:16
i remove the err.php and now there is no error, however there is just a blank page? – LWills Apr 22 '17 at 21:22
the document root is localhost8080 – LWills Apr 22 '17 at 21:24
another person configured the webserver so i dont know – LWills Apr 22 '17 at 21:24
You removed the err.php from where? and what the application link? – MohMul15 Apr 22 '17 at 21:25
i removed the err.php from the connect.php file and yes, it is just blank now – LWills Apr 22 '17 at 21:29
What is your application link, for example: http://localhost:8080/somelink – MohMul15 Apr 22 '17 at 21:30
localhost:8080/web%20chat/ – LWills Apr 22 '17 at 21:35

Please check the database connection settings – MohMul15 Apr 22 '17 at 21:44
where should i check ? – LWills Apr 22 '17 at 21:45
I'm using easyphp – LWills Apr 22 '17 at 21:46
look for configuration file like: config.php file in 'web chat' folder and subfolders – MohMul15 Apr 22 '17 at 21:47
the only other file similiar to that is dbchat.sql – LWills Apr 22 '17 at 22:04
Ok, to help you more. Where have you got the 'web chat' script from? – MohMul15 Apr 22 '17 at 22:06
a friend created it and zipped it over – LWills Apr 22 '17 at 22:08
Ok, how many files (not folders) in 'web chat'? can you tell me what are the files included? – MohMul15 Apr 22 '17 at 22:13
connection.php error.php home.php login.php send_save_chat.php view.php index.php reg.php submit.php – LWills Apr 22 '17 at 22:20
Ok, when you open connection.php do you find some keywords like: username, password, database,.. etc. – MohMul15 Apr 22 '17 at 22:28
indeed there is – LWills Apr 22 '17 at 22:35
Ok, do you have mysql server or any dbms? – MohMul15 Apr 22 '17 at 22:37
local8080:phpmyadmin – LWills Apr 22 '17 at 22:47
Ok, you have to check the settings in the connection.php file like the followings: $database = 'your used database'; $database_user = 'root'; $database_server = 'localhost'; Sorry, I have to leave now but I will check your response once I get back – MohMul15 Apr 22 '17 at 22:58

It's telling you that on line 10 of connection.php you are trying to do an <?php include 'err.php'; ?>, but your program cannot find it.

I would check the file structure of err.php and make the appropriate correction.
