Custom Block which calls a function from an include file

I created a custom block with code:
require('\test_lib.php');
test();

the test_lib.php:
function test()
{
echo "testing...";
}
?>

Amazingly the output complaining that test() is not defined. I dont' get it.

Another funny thing is that if I wrap my custom block code into its own php file for example wrapper.php, then in the custom block,i wrote:
require('wrapper.php');
then the code works.

The problem is that my ISP disallow the 2nd option.

Anyone has any clues?

Thanks.

make sure you tick the box that says php code or whatever.

and don't use the open/close tags

also, get used to using long tag like
eitherway tho, when pasting code into the blocks either select html or php but don't use the tags.. as XOOPS does it for you.

Thanks for your reply m0nthy.

I did all what u said but problem still persist.

I wonder if include/require in custom block does not actually means including the file like normal php file?

Thanks.

it should do, i've used include statements in custom blocks before..

try using an absolute path in the include, instead of a relative path.

I have also tried using absolute path, but still in vain.

Did you also call a function from the include?
I think include is working, just that you can't call the function from the include file.

no don't think i called a function from the block itself.

why does your ISP not allow you to use the require (2nd option) i can't see any reason for them to disallow it, the whole XOOPS system works like that.

This is what I got if I use the 2nd option:
Warning [PHP]: Unknown(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in file /home/mypage/public_html/html/class/xoopsblock.php(146) : eval()'d code line 7
Warning [PHP]: Unknown(http://www.mypage.com/html/test_special.php): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in file /home/mypage/public_html/html/class/xoopsblock.php(146) : eval()'d code line 7
Warning [PHP]: (null)(): Failed opening 'http://www.mypage.com/html/test_special.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in file /home/mypage/public_html/html/class/xoopsblock.php(146) : eval()'d code line 7

Not sure why my ISP disable it tough =).
