includes

main forlder is "mysite"

I have a header and footer if I include into the index.php its fine if I include in profile/index.php I get and error

I have tried to use 

include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/header.php');

but have had not success still errors

the error I get when trying to go to profile/index.php

Warning: include(C:/Program Files (x86)/Zend/Apache2/htdocs/header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\Apache2\htdocs\mysite\profile\index.php on line 2

  • your header.php is in the "include" and "profile" is a folder right? Commented Jan 4, 2016 at 2:07
  • correct my includes folder has header and nav and footer.php my profile folder has index and edit.php plus I have a admin folder that has pages also in which I need to include the header and footer Commented Jan 4, 2016 at 2:09
  • Have you tried getcwd() instead of $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']? Commented Jan 4, 2016 at 2:10
  • and you tried include('../includes/header.php') ? for /profile/index.php? Commented Jan 4, 2016 at 2:11
  • I have not tried getcwd() how would I use that in a include I'm new to php??? Commented Jan 4, 2016 at 2:22

Reset to default

Your main folder is mysite, so add mysite after $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] for profile/index.php the code will be like this:

include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/mysite/includes/header.php');
