I'm building a site for someone, but for some reason I don't seem to be able to "include" a data file that has an "include" in it. It'll include the first file fine, but the PHP incide the included file that's trying to call another file doesn't work and I get an "open_basedir restriction" error message. Anyone know what needs to be unrestricted for this to work? It's worked fine with all my other sites before, but doesn't seem to want to do it this time...hmmm
The open_basedir restriction can be changed in the php.ini file. It restricts the locations which files can be included from, ususally on shared hosting. Basically, it can mean you are only allowed to include files from your main directory (the one you get when you FTP in), or subfolders of that. There can be a restriction on any folders though, so probably worth contacting your host to find out how they have it set, or look at a phpinfo() page.
If you're trying to include a page with a full address e.g. include http://something.com/data.php then that may also be restricted too.

Personaly, Includes within Includes are a headache!
Hard to explain but if you're trying to include a file from a sub-folder it will work with the first one, but then that document you've just included becomes part of the original one so you'll have to tell it (the one you've just included) to include the file from the sub-folder again as it's been taken out of that other folder.
Can't explain it. It's a sod.

You need to include a file on the filesystem, not on the webserver.
I've tried everything except changing the CMS. What a headache - I 've got to change this whole site now!
It is probably to do with the route of the included file, try changing the included files' routes to a full addresses i.e.
include 'http://www.yourdomain.com/folder/file.php';

include 'http://www.yourdomain.com/folder/file.php';
