.htaccess and Include

[Pezmc]

I am currently using .htaccess as below to make "fake" htm files with php.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pages/(.*).htm /index.php?page=$1&pages=1

 

However I have encounted a problem when I am trying to include php files to my script.

Say template.php is stored at mysite.com/template.php and it is being included with

include('template.php');

if I hit mysite.com/index.php?page=home&pages=1 it works fine.

However if I hit mysite.com/pages/home so I am relying on htaccess it returns a include fail, file not found.

 

How on earth do I get around this?

<?php
define("SERVER_ROOT", $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);

include(SERVER_ROOT."/folder/blah/file.php");
?>

 

Call it from its literal location each time.
