Tim,
I can very much relate to your confusion. When I first
started using includes in my PHP scripts, I was
writing huge blocks of code just to have the script
figure out where it was and then put in the includes
from there. Finally, I figured out that you can use
the full filesystem path in your include and save all
that headache. For instance, this line of code appears
in every page of my website, which calls the page
header and the navigation bar on the left:
<?php
include('/srv/www/htdocs/header.php');
?>
This way, I can include the header file using the
exact same line of code in every script, no matter
where header.php is located in relation to the script
that is calling it. If you're using a Windows box, you
would just use something like:
include('c:/wwwroot/header.php');
instead.
HTH, and Good Luck!
