require and include

[sean_paul]

I developed a navigation system that I am trying to include in all my files via require or include.

The navigation file name is "top.inc"

The main file has the following code:
<? require("top.inc"); ?>

This should load the navigation into the main file

But when I load the main file, the navigation doesn't show up, instead I have a broken image icon, Can you help me.

I also tried include instead of require.

This should be simple. But I can't get it to work

Please help

thanks in adavance.

If you're getting a broken image icon when you include() or require() but not normally, that means it is include()'ing or require()'ing.

Try copying and pasting the include from top.inc right into your page and save it. Then, see if it displays the same thing. My guess is you're probably just calling the image wrong. Maybe you need to go back a directory to load the image <img src="../image.jpg"> or something to that effect.
