Include - $id

[Cosmos]

I have the following code which includes another file in my main template. But I want to be able to include a file from a folder not the folder its currently set in. i.e. The current code below is for files located in the home directory. But I have another directory named "gaming" where a file called "reviews" resides. So I was to use something like this: index.php?gaming=reviews

I use this code like this which works fine:
index.php?id=main

<?
if(!file_exists("$id.php"))
{
include("main.php");
}else{
include("$id.php");
}
?>

I have tried something like this but don't work:

<?
if(!file_exists("/gaming/$gaming.php"))
{
include("main.php");
}else{
include("/gaming/$gaming.php");
}
?>

I cannot explain it any better, I have just started PHP. 😛
Feel free to explain anything to me I'm sure I will pick it up. 😉

Play around with .., e.g.

../gaming/
../../gaming/

Or use this:

include($DOCUMENT_ROOT."/gaming/$gaming.php");
