Stop thinking of include files as www.example.com/file.php.
You're including a file that's within the same file system as the original
file, so you just need to provide a correct path.
If you have
/home/example/www/one/example.php
and you want to include
/home/example/www/two/example.php
into it, then you can do two things:
include("../two/example.php")
which will go from the one/ directory, go up one, into the two directory,
and then access the example.php file. This is called a relative path, since
it is relative to the one/example.php file.
or, you can do
include("/home/example/www/two/example.php");
This is an absolute path.
Use whichever you understand. One thing you may come accross that you need
to understand is that all includes, if you're using relative paths, are
relative to the original file. so if one/example.php includes
two/example.php and then two/example.php tries to include another file using
a relative path, it's going to start relative to the one/ directory, no the
two/ directory. You don't have this problem/issue with absolute paths.
