Include help needed

[ned911]

The answer to this is so simple I'm probably over looking.

My site basically uses a wire frame with the header and nav brought in using include statement.

I added some new content that is now 2 levels down from the main index.

ie: www.domain.com/level1/level2

My includes now do not work.

Previous just had include("../header.inc"); for the level 1 folders.

Would like to avoid hard coding the full url with the include. Any idea how to get this functional?

Try:

include("./../../header.inc");

THe ./ refers to the current directory that you're in.

each ../ refers to up one level.

So:

./../ == ../

./../../ == up two levels from where you are.

You can also try just ../../ if my first attempt doesn't work.

Personally, in all my scripts, I always set up a config file with my most basic global information. In there, if I have multiple directories, I set up an array that holds my directory and path to it. Something like:

<?php

$dir = array(
    'root' => $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/',
    'inc' => $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/inc/');


include($dir['inc'].'header.inc');

?>

Hope that helps you some.
