So I have this code for my webpage but whenever I put in the "include" php code

<?php
     include('include/mysqli.inc');
?>

everything below that disappears. Basically I'm trying to enter in the appropriate variable data from the quotes database that I'm using into the correct table fields. But I can't do this if the include code line keeps making my tables disappear!

Help!

Here's the main source code:

And here's my mysqli.inc code:

	$strSymbol = @$_REQUEST["symbol"];
	if(! empty($strSymbol))
	{
		$db = $objDBUtil->Open();
		
		$query = "SELECT symSymbol, symName FROM symbols WHERE symSymbol=" . $objDBUtil->DBQuotes($strSymbol);
		
		$result = $db->query($query);
		
		if (! $result)
		{
			print "Invalid query result<br />\n";
		}
		else
		{
			$row = @$result->fetch_assoc();
		}
		
		@$result->free();
		
		$querysymbol = $objDBUtil->DBQuotes($strSymbol);
		$query = "HERETOouterjoin
	SELECT symSymbol, symName, qSymbol, qQuoteDateTime, qLastSalePrice
	 FROM symbols LEFT OUTER JOIN quotes ON symSymbol=qSymbol
	 WHERE symSymbol={$querysymbol}
	 ORDER BY qQuoteDateTime DESC
	 LIMIT 10
	HERETOouterjoin";
	
	$result = @$db->query($query);
	if($result)
	{
		while($row = @$result->fetch_assoc())
		{
			extract($row);
			
			if($qQuoteDateTime == NULL) $qQuoteDateTime = "No Quote Data";
			if($qLastSalePrice == NULL) $qLastSalePrice = "-.--";
		}
	}
	
	@$result->free();
	$objDBUtil->Close();
	}	
?>

I think you have already including

include ('require/dbUtil.inc');

in mysqli.inc, try to comment it.

Well I don't think that's the problem; I've removed mysqli.inc and just pasted the code where I initially put the "include" php code. It still gives me a blank where my table code is. This is so frustrating!! The issue lies within my long php code here:

<?php
	include ('require/dbUtil.inc');
	ob_start();
	
	$strSymbol = @$_REQUEST["symbol"];
	if(! empty($strSymbol))
	{
		$db = $objDBUtil->Open();
		
		$query = "SELECT symSymbol, symName FROM symbols WHERE symSymbol=" . $objDBUtil->DBQuotes($strSymbol);
		
		$result = $db->query($query);
		
		if (! $result)
		{
			print "Invalid query result<br />\n";
		}
		else
		{
			$row = @$result->fetch_assoc();
		}
		
		@$result->free();
		
		$querysymbol = $objDBUtil->DBQuotes($strSymbol);
		$query = "HERETOouterjoin
	SELECT symSymbol, symName, qSymbol, qQuoteDateTime, qLastSalePrice
	 FROM symbols LEFT OUTER JOIN quotes ON symSymbol=qSymbol
	 WHERE symSymbol={$querysymbol}
	 ORDER BY qQuoteDateTime DESC
	 LIMIT 10
	HERETOouterjoin";
	
	$result = @$db->query($query);
	if($result)
	{
		while($row = @$result->fetch_assoc())
		{
			extract($row);
			
			if($qQuoteDateTime == NULL) $qQuoteDateTime = "No Quote Data";
			if($qLastSalePrice == NULL) $qLastSalePrice = "-.--";
		}
	}
	
	@$result->free();
	$objDBUtil->Close();
	}	
?>

Something within this code is making the rest of my code disappear...but I have no clue what. Please help!

on the begining of your page write this 2 lines and then run your page

error_reporting(E_ALL); 
	ini_set("display_errors", 1);

on the begining of your page write this 2 lines and then run your page

error_reporting(E_ALL); 
	ini_set("display_errors", 1);

That doesn't seem to work for my page...It just comes out as text.

But now the problem is a little different: I can get the tables to show up but whenever I type in a a stock symbol, i.e. GOOG, in the text box and click submit it refreshes the page but shows no tables. What is going on!

you must keep those two lines under <?php tag

<?php
       error_reporting(E_ALL); 
	ini_set("display_errors", 1);
.
.
.
.
?>

The warnings that came up is as follow:

Stock Symbol: Warning: main(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/Los_Angeles' for '-7.0/DST' instead in C:\Inetpub\ftproot\Accounts\yongj\quote.php on line 101 Notice: Undefined variable: symSymbol in C:\Inetpub\ftproot\Accounts\yongj\quote.php on line 101

It says that $symSymbol and $symName are unidentified? How is this possible? Im extracting these variables from the database itself.

write 2 lines after fecthing it from database and before using it anywhere. then see whether its coming as expected.

echo $symSymbol ;
echo $symName;

before you use them anywhere in the code
