Include files in PHP 5.2.4

[ShopMAster]

My host upgraded to 5.2.4 and now all my include files are not showing up on my pages.

 

Here is how I am defining the include statements:

 

<?
// include header image
include('http://www.maddenwars.com/includes/mainnav_hd.php');
?>

 

I looked at the documentation but I can't seem to find out the correct way to include files.

 

Thanks guys.

I looked at the documentation but I can't seem to find out the correct way to include files.

 

Don't use a url, use an absolute path.

or use:

 

ini_set("URL_FOPEN",true);

I'm sorry, I'm a newbie.  What is an absolute path?

 

or how do you code the

 

ini_set("URL_FOPEN",true);

Not really related to php, but it means the full path to a file. You do know what a path is? Just a guess, but the path your trying to include would look like....

 

<?php
  include 'includes/mainnav_hd.php';
?>

 

providing the file your calling this include from is within your doc root.

Nope, did't work.

 

the file is in mwtheleague/index.php

 

the include

 

includes/mainnav_hd.php
