Hi, I am having problems with an include statement, i am using the following statement in an effort to include a footer file on my page: include("/cms/templates/footer.php"); However I get the following error: Warning: main(/cms/templates/footer.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/m/y/mysite/public_html/cms/news/index.php on line 38 Warning: main(/cms/templates/footer.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/m/y/mysite/public_html/cms/news/index.php on line 38 Warning: main(): Failed opening '/cms/templates/footer.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/lib/php') in /home/m/y/mysite/public_html/cms/news/index.php on line 38 The file is definitely there, the script just doesn't seem to be picking it up, has anyone else had this problem?

What is the very first file that loads? Is it actually: /home/m/y/mysite/public_html/cms/news/index.php Or maybe something higher up like: /home/m/y/mysite/public_html/cms/index.php that then includes the file above. In the first case, this will work if the file is there: include(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)).'/templates/footer.php'); In the second case, this: include('templates/footer.php'); -Shawn
