[SOLVED] includes

[plutomed]

when i use includes it works when i include a file like this:

 

include "file.php";

 

but not when i do:

 

include "/file.php";

 

why??

[flappy_warbucks]

becuse when you use the forward slash "/" you are refering to the root directory of the web folder...

 

i.e. if your web directory is c:\www_folder\htdocs\mysite then you use

 

include "/file.php";

 

then the server would look for the file in the "htdocs" folder and not the "mysite" folder.
