[SOLVED] Include file from a different folder

[ontwerpexpert.nl]

Hi,

 

I am wrestling with this for days, I hope someone can help.

 

Situation:

In the root of my server stands my website, index.php, footer and so on.

Now I have some applications like a forum, chat and more thats placed in httpdocs/forum/index.php

 

What I want

I need them to include the footer from the root folder.. just they dont include them... is there a solution?

 

Thanks in advance

if you need to go up a i directory use '../'

 

so

 

your website's forum (for example)

 

www.example.com/forum/index.php

 

index.php needs to include the footer (www.example.com/footer.php)

 

include('../footer.php');

[ontwerpexpert.nl]

I know 

 

It just dont work for some reason.

 

I tried the ../ path and the complete http://.....

 

Maybe it's just the index of Phpbb that wont include it?

You may have some configuration forcing it not to work. Try:

 

include './../footer.php';
