include problem

[psychohagis]

I have this on a page:

[code]include '../includes/clean_var.inc.php';[/code]

but when I run this i get told the following:

[quote]Warning: main(../includes/clean_var.inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/fhlinux178/b/MYSITE.org.uk/user/htdocs/members/messages/delete.php on line 4

[/quote]

I dont understand why this does not work becuase I have the following on another page:
[code]include '../includes/content_formatting.inc.php';[/code]

and that works

Where is the file in relation to where you're calling it from? One level up? Two levels up?

[psychohagis]

its in the folder, [b]/members/messages/[/b] and the one that works is in[b]/members/[/b]

do this;

include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. '/includes/clean_var.inc.php');
