Hi thanks for the fast replay.

 

<?php

 

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

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

 

?>

 

That works but my problem is its not loading any of the images in them files as the paths are wrong id have to add ../ to every single image for it to work and that is not an option as lots of other files are using the menu.php

u should define in each main file dir constants

#index.php
define('IMGDIR' , 'images');
#messageboard
define('IMGDIR' , '../images');
#then u can use it in include file
$img = IMGDIR . '/someimg.jpg';
