on line 29

this file is located in http://www.freetravian.com/travian/install/include/multihunter.php

what is causing these errors? could it be because I haven't set some folder permissions? the file config.php does infact exist.

The files doesn't exist on the given phat.

Here is what the error shows (check the double dots):

Warning: include() [function.include]: Unable to access ../GameEngine/config.php in /home/freetrav/public_html/travian/GameEngine/Admin/database.php on line 20

Warning: include(../GameEngine/config.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/freetrav/public_html/travian/GameEngine/Admin/database.php on line 20

/home/freetrav/public_html/travian/GameEngine/Admin/database.php <- This is the file doing the include
/home/freetrav/public_html/travian/GameEngine/GameEngine/config.php <- This file doesn't exist

C++ – the difference between #include and #include “filename”

In practice, the difference is in the location where the preprocessor searches for the included file.

For #include <filename> the preprocessor searches in an implementation dependent manner, normally in search directories pre-designated by the compiler/IDE. This method is normally used to include standard library header files.

For #include "filename" the preprocessor searches first in the same directory as the file containing the directive, and then follows the search path used for the #include <filename> form. This method is normally used to include programmer-defined header files.

A more complete description is available in the GCC documentation on search paths.

Incrementing / Decrementing Operators

++ increment operator

-- decrement operator

Example    Name              Effect
---------------------------------------------------------------------
++$a       Pre-increment     Increments $a by one, then returns $a.
$a++       Post-increment    Returns $a, then increments $a by one.
--$a       Pre-decrement     Decrements $a by one, then returns $a.
$a--       Post-decrement    Returns $a, then decrements $a by one.

These can go before or after the variable.

If put before the variable, the increment/decrement operation is done to the variable first then the result is returned. If put after the variable, the variable is first returned, then the increment/decrement operation is done.

For example:

$apples = 10;
for ($i = 0; $i < 10; ++$i) {
    echo 'I have ' . $apples-- . " apples. I just ate one.\n";
}

Live example

In the case above ++$i is used, since it is faster. $i++ would have the same results.

Pre-increment is a little bit faster because it really increments the variable and after that 'returns' the result. Post-increment creates a special variable, copies there the value of the first variable and only after the first variable is used, replaces its value with second's.

However, you must use $apples--, since first, you want to display the current number of apples, and then you want to subtract one from it.

You can also increment letters in PHP:

$i = "a";
while ($i < "c") {
    echo $i++;
}

Once z is reached aa is next, and so on.

Note that character variables can be incremented but not decremented and even so only plain ASCII characters (a-z and A-Z) are supported.
