Call to undefined function phpinclude_once()

I'm making a new php page and I get the error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function phpinclude_once() in /home8/nuventio/public_html/marketing/pb2/dashboard.php on line 1

I'm not sure why I'm getting this error, I've done previous pages the same way as this with no problems. This is the line in question:

<?php
include_once("../utils.php");
?>

After that it just goes into regular HTML code. It wor开发者_StackOverflow中文版ks fine without that line.

try making sure there is an enter between your <?php and your include_once

It seems like you might have short tags, and it is interpreting it as:

<? = Open Tag
phpinclude_once("../utils.php"); = Function call

So just put an extra line or something in there. You could even just add a few semicolons for the heck of it.

Perhaps your editing program is saving your PHP files using only carriage-return style newlines (\r or 0x0D)

Because, as far as I know*, the parser will only recognize linefeed-style newlines (\n or 0x0A)

*Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this one.

EDIT

Could also be a transfer issue - I believe some FTP programs will do newline conversion and other OS-specific stuff.

Delete the entire line and retype it. If PHP is saying the undefined function is phpinclude_once then something is very weird, it's almost like PHP isn't seeing the newline between <?php and include_once, interpreting it as <? phpinclude_once

I fixed my problem (actually fixed, not a workaround).

Previous files were files that I had created myself. The files I was working on that were giving me this error had been given to me by a mac user.

In Notepad++, I found where it lists EOL info and found out that they were encoded using Mac EOL format which, while it looked fine in Notepad++, was not working once I uploaded it to my server (a *nix environment). In Notepad++, I converted the EOL to Windows format (either that or UNIX format worked, but Mac format doesn't). This is under Edit -> EOL Conversion.

There may be something in the interpretation, try adding a space before include_once() function.
