Re: Problem with include();

Hello, It's often said that includes should have relative paths instead of absolute paths. This ensures that your script still works when you move it to a different server. So if an error has forced you to use rel paths consider it a blessing in disguise :-) Ty Lamb wrote:

/index.php has include("/code/includes/page_header.php"); /docs/aaryn/dmb/dave.php has include("/code/includes/page_header.php"); Both are identical lines of code. Index.php works but dave.php returns the following: Warning: Failed opening '/code/includes/page_header.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in C:\x\x\x\x\x\aaryn\dmb\dave.php on line 4 but if I change the code in dave.php to include '../../../code/includes/page_header.php'; It works. Why? Is there any way around this? Please tell me I'm doing something wrong and it's not supposed to work like this!!! Ty...
