    php question

    hello all,

    ok, first go to http://www.inkerrville.com , i made that site using php and i basically have made my site a template, so i add headerik.php, leftside.php, my html for the page and then i add my footer.php last.

    my problem is this: i'm trying to add another level of pages on my site, but for some reason it's not working with my templated php pages. if you go to http://www.inkerrville.com/oldweb/testing.php you'll see what i'm talking about. my php coding is: <?php
    include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/headerik.php";
    ?>, should i be adding something in the file name???

    i hope i'm explaining myself for you to understand. thanks for your help.

    Your css file has a relative path in the include file. It is looking for http://www.inkerrville.com/oldweb/custom.css which does not exist. Try using an absolute path for it ie. http://www.inkerrville.com/custom.css.

    I imagine your include file has a line that looks like this in it:
    PHP Code:
     <link href="custom.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
    this is a relative path it looks for custom.css in whatever directory you are in

    Change it to:
    PHP Code:
     <link href="/custom.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
    this is an absolute path. it looks for custom.css in the root directory.

    All your links will probably need to be changed in the include file to be absolute paths too.
    so href="aboutus.php" becomes href="/aboutus.php"

    thanx baumer1122 for being a little bit more clear, it helped. wow, i'm still amazed at the power of a dash (/).

    thank you again.
