PHP Includes

[lostprophetpunk]

I have come across a problem whilst integrating wordpress into my website.

 

I have managed to get nav.php to be included in the root of the blog (www.example.co.uk/blog/), but when viewing a post the nav.php does not get included anymore as the directory would not go back as far.

 

This is the current code for it...

include_once('../nav.php');

So it works for www.example.co.uk/blog/, as the nav.php is in the main folder. But when it has something like www.example.co.uk/blog/2010/06/, it doesn't include it.

 

How could I make the path so it is a direct path?

 

I have tried doing the full address (http//www.example.co.uk/nav.php), that doesn't work.

I have tried foing the short address (/nav.php), that doesn't work.

 

If anyone could help me out that would be great.

include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/nav.php');

That still doesn't work, but I appreciate your help.

so nav is in the example.com/nav.php?

 

if you use example.com/blog/page.php you need ../nav.php so basically you need ../ for each directory you go back so for example.com/2010/06/page.php you need ../../nav.php

Thanks ignace, it did work after all. I found that the way I was doing my navigation system messed up the link to the current page it was on.
