php includes from folder to folder

epic1231 · Post #1 (**permalink**) 10-29-2005, 06:56 PM

hey there all - i'm using a HTML site that i converted to php so that I can use the includes for certain scripts i want to run.

i use the following example

<?php include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/include/header.php"); ?>
or
<?php include("pm_inc.php"); ?>

the header and footer files are in the /include/ folder and the files i want to call the header and footer to are in the /folder2/ folder..

how do i call these files - using just the same method does not work as listed above, i've also tried public_html/username/foldername/ to no avail.

can someone help me on this?

Thanks,
Bill

PHP Code:


			
<?

include ("folder/filename.php");

?>

or you could use

PHP Code:


			
<?

require ("folder/filename.php");

?>

it seems though when the file i am inserting this php into is in another folder seperate from the /include/ folder it does not seem to load the php - when using the code like this isn't it trying to call the php file from a subfolder of the folder the file is in?

we always use:

PHP Code:


			
<?

include './folder/file.php';

?>
