server and document path problems

[jander00]

Can anyone help? What can be the problem? This include statement won't work:
include 'http://'. $SERVER['HTTP_HOST']. dirname($SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . '/doc.php';

The relative path works the most of the time: include 'doc.php'; But sometime this does not work either. It is just ignored, like if it's not there. But if I add a syntax error it complains. I'm a bit confused. Can someone help?

Running Apache 2 on WinXP Pro with php 4.3.2.

Can you not just:

<? include "doc.php"; ?>

The code is properly embedded in PHP tags and single or double quotes have both been tried... same thing happens... not work!
