I'm a PHP newbie and am looking into using the include statement to
put things like the header and footer in so they are always the same.
I do this now with SSI. In SSI I'll use the following statement:
<!--#include virtual="/includes/metatags.include" -->
I like this cause it lets me use the same statement all over the site
and I don't have to worry about where the document is and how many
directories i have to go up an into "../../../../../"
I was guessing PHP's version would be:
<?PHP
include("/includes/metatags.include");
?>
However I get an error. If I put the absolute it works:
<?PHP
include("/home/httpd/includes/metatags.include");
?>
which is scary cause this worked too:
<?PHP
include("/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf");
?>
doesn't this seem like a huge security hole?
Well what I want is to use something like /inc/footer.html so i can
use the same PHP statements in any document and not worry about
getting it "../../../"
Any suggestions.
Mike
