my php fails to open?

lelelow

This is my first time using PHP and I'm in the process of taking my site from iframes to php. I just got done editing all my pages to php and putting in the header and footers. If you go to a page such as:
http://www.lelelow.com/about.php
it works!
but, go ahead and click one of the links from that page, and they don't!
All of the links in the sidebar navagation (freebies, etc) work just fine but as soon as you go to something else, it doesn't work anymore. Can somebody tell me what I did wrong?

PS: don't click the home link

My best guess without seeing any code is that you are incorrectly specifying the path to the included files, or not specifying it at all. You need to specify a relative or absolute file system path to the included file if it is (a) not in the same directory as the calling script and (b) is not in a directory pointed to by your PHP include_path setting.

wait, I figured it out. I was putting something like
<? include("footer.php"); ?>
instead of
<? include("http://www.lelelow.com/footer.php"); ?>

idk if that's what you were saying, but that made me think of it. Thanks

<? include("http://www.lelelow.com/footer.php"); ?>

You shouldn't be doing this unless footer.php is on a different server.

You might want to do:

<?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/footer.php"); ?>
