Include works only on one of my files?

[psquillace]

Hello All:

 

At this link http://www.stevan.com/newsite/index.php

 

You can see that I have a nice header which is being called by this line of code:

 

<?php include ($rel_path . 'includes/header.php'); ?>

 

However a few lines down I have a global menu on the left which will not show with this line of php

 

<?php include ($rel_path . 'includes/left-menu.php'); ?>

 

So my question is, why does one show and not the other?

 

I checked the spelling and even renamed the file thinking it might help but I cannot figure what I did wrong..

 

the left menu does not have anything in it just a couple of <p> tags and words to test it out but should it have php tags in the file?

 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Paul

Your side bar code?  If so, it's in a div with the css attribute "display: none;", so it's not being shown, although it is being sent to the client. ;p
