Hi thanks for the quick reply. Your method is what I used first off. But my issue is that on my local server the header.php file is located in www/hosting/include/header.php and the remote file location is public_html/include/header.php which kinda of throws me off a little.

Using the method you described with the use of switch statements is a great idea and would be much easier to manage, but I always thought they were not search engine friendly?

Hi, I am a total newbie at PHP and am trying my best to understand some things. I have a file called header.php located in includes/header.php I also have a file called h_shop.php located in cart/h/h_shop.php The problem I am having is how to automatically reference the header include using php instead of a numerous amounts of slashes. A config file would help as I have a number of pages in the folder cart/h/ This is what I started with but doesn't work mainly because I am testing on a local server and when I upload it I have to change all the files references again: <?php require("../../../include/header.php"); ?> Any help or understanding of this will help greatly. Thanks
