[SOLVED] "inlcude" files

[ohdang888]

hey.

i am using include files a lot.

but to save space, i don't want to include the same include files in every folder, (such as menu and footer)

 

so how to i command the php to look back one folder

 

for example

<?php include("footer.php"); ?>

 

how would you say "that file is one folder back"

i tried <?php include("*\footer.php"); ?>, but thats not working

[kjtocool]

<?php include ("../footer.php"); ?>
