include problem

[natalieG]

we have the table below that is trying to include the file index.php from an immediate
subdirectory of public_html, where public_html is where this code is located. We hae tried
changing the code to './calendar/index.php' and also made it absolluter
/home/msdsimg/public_html/calendar/index.php and we get the error messages in the attached
image.

Thanks,

Jennifer

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve.

As you can see, the error is in calendar/index.php

and you're trying to include calendar/index.php?

that would create an infinite loop?


I'd suggest 'require' and format it like <? require ("index.php"); ?>

If the file cannot be found, you could try complete URLs (<? require ("http://www.whatever.com/index.php"); though I have the feeling some servers may have this feature disabled. However, it should be on the same server, so it might be possible. It shouldn't give errors.
