require("/ffffff.xxx");

This may be better suited for the General section, as it may have something to do with the server, but I’m using the PHP require() function, so I’ll ask it here….

I have the following as the code for a page in the parent directory of a subdomain I recently setup:

[code=php]<?php require(“/includes/header.php”); ?>
// page content here
<?php require(“/includes/footer.php”); ?>[/code]

Here is the file hierarchy for the subdomain directory:

[code][font=courier]<parent directory>
<includes>
header.php
footer.php
<images>
(images here)
index.php
styles.css[/font][/code]

When I use the code I gave above, however, I get this error:

[quote]

[b]Warning:[/b] main(/includes/header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [b]/home/dandaman/public_html/subdomain/index.php[/b] on line [b]1[/b]

[b]Fatal error:[/b] main(): Failed opening required ‘/includes/header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in [b]/home/dandaman/public_html/subdomain/index.php [/b]on line [b]1[/b]

[/quote]

Now, this [i]should[/i] work, because the “subdomain” directory is the parent directory when gone to through the browser ( [url]http://subdomain.thenamesdan.com/[/url] )Any ideas what’s going wrong?

[size=1]NOTE: subdomain.thenamesdan.com is not an actual subdomain, I’m just using it as an example.[/size]

Thanks in advance,
Dan

[size=1]PS: It [i]does[/i] work if I remove the slash from in front of the include paths, but I don’t want to do that because it wouldn’t work in subdirectories…. Also, I just created the subdomain today, if it matters.[/size]
