a problem about auto_prepend_file

[yshcams]

Hi,

I use prepend.php to include a menu.inc. The explorer displays the menu when the php files are in the same directory as the menu.inc . Otherwise, the menu will not display.

When I copy the menu.inc into another directory, e.x. /add/. , the menu can be displayed.

Is this a problem?

Thanks.

If i understand correctly you have something that looks like this:

// in preped.php
include ("menu.inc");

It sounds like your menu.inc is not being put into the correct directory, or is being called incorrectly.
It would really help if you could post your include statement.
Please do not paste your entire script.

yes, you are right, my prepend.php has only one line.

both prepend.php and menu.inc are in c:/sokkit/site

You can use include to specify either an absolute or relative path
for instance:
menu.inc is on your website like this:
http://yourdomain.com/add/menu.inc
and prepend.php is like this:
http://yourdomain.com/prepend.php
(c:/sokkit/site/prepend.php)

Relative Path:
include ("add/menu.inc");

Absolute Path:
include ("c:/sokkit/site/add/menu.inc");

URL Path:
include ("http://yourdomain.com/add/menu.inc");

Does that help?

What doesn't work?
Please try and be as specific as you can, and include code snippets.

Thanks

I add a string " abcdefg" into the "menu.inc". "abcdefg" appears on every page. So, I think, it is the javascripts in the menu.inc that have problem. Thanks.
