PHP and Includes not working

[jason]

Is there anything special to allow server side includes in PHP to work? We upgraded PHP and now the headers and footer includes are no longer...

I think you need to paste some special code into .htaccess file for that option to start to work.

Hi,

Try using this: include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/directory/myfile.php');

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] will give you /home/USERNAME/public_html. If you're using an add-on domain, that directory will be included at the end.

So your include will look like /home/USERNAME/public_html/directory/myfile.php
