Re: Sitewide Header & Footer Includes || Trouble with Relative Paths..........

What I did on my site is made a file called config.php, I then made a variable for all the files that need to be included, example, header, footer, leftnav, rightnav, etc.. My config file looks like this: <?php $header ="/home/public_html/includes/header.php"; $rightnav ="/home/public_html/includes/rightnav.php"; $leftnav ="/home/public_html/includes/leftnav.php"; $footer ="/home/public_html/includes/footer.php"; // and many other include variables here.. ?> Then I simply call config.php into all my pages and when I want to include a file I just do: <?php include("$header"); // html and stuff.... include("$footer"); ?> my config.php has all my site includes and it allows me to dynamically change anything throughout the site in a matter of seconds. hope this helps.
