include doesn't work in php5

[Krash]

 

Been using these includes in php4 for a long time, but they don't work in php5.  Page loads, but included code is blank.

 

<?php include("http://www.xxxxxxxx.org/header.php"); ?>

You shouldn't try to include a URL, you should include a path in the filesystem. eg include('path/to/header.php')

I can use a relative path if the included file is in the same directory or below, but I can't include a file that's above the current directory.  Is there a way to do that?

Of course there is. You can use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] to use the path relative to the root of the web server.

 

include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/path/to/file.php');

Yeah, found that and it works fine.  If I were a bit younger, and a lot smarter, I'd sit myself down and actually learn this stuff.

 

But if I had some ham, I'd make ham & eggs, if I had some eggs.

 

Thanks!
