How to use include() or require() ?

[Anon]

My files's directory is below:
/manager/manager.inc
/manager/module/module.php

I want to include manager.inc in module.php
I use the sentence in module.php :<? require("../manager.inc") ?>,but it dont work.

error infomation is "Parse error: parse error in ../manager_function.inc on line 27
"
How achieve the idea?

It looks like (assuming manager.inc and manager_function.inc are two different files) manager.inc calls include or require on another file w/ PHP code in it that has a parse error. Locate that file and check out line 27.
