try replacing your include with the full data path to the header file rather than a
URL, php has to establish a http connect and download your header file before
proceeding.
require ("/path/to/file/header.htm")
sometimes depending on what web server software you are using, you may need to do it
like this
require ("./path/to/file/header.htm")
note the "." in front of the path

Subject: [PHP] Really slow include
I have a header section for my website and I'd like to include it into each page.
Since this is where
I'm housing all of my navagation. Here is my problem though. I have the header
tables sitting in a page
header.htm. I'm calling it as so:
<?
require ("header.htm")
?>
This works fine as long as I stay in the main folder /htdocs where the header.htm file
is.
The problem lies when I go any deeper. I tried replacing the link with:
<?
require ("/header.htm")
?>
Hoping that would put it back to the /htdocs folder as it works for my standard links.
Instead
I get this:
Fatal error: Failed opening required '/header.htm'
(include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /www/foo/htdocs/foo/index_test.php on line 82
I've tried correcting it by including the full path:
<?
require ("http://www.foo.com/header.htm";)
?>
This does work but it's so amazingly slow. Even on my cable connection it will take
20-30 seconds
to load this. I've switched back and forth between require and include with no change
in speed. Anyone
have a suggestion or an idea on why my load time is suffering so much?
I hope all of that was clear enough.
Thanks
