Hello,

My problem is that for my menus i use the PHP include function, but i have just made a new directory to start making my blog inside, and my php include function isn't working, because my pages are in the previous directory, how can i get around it?

Below is my code:
HTML
Code: 
<div id="menu">
<?php include("../Nav_Bar.php"); ?>
</div>
<!-- end #menu -->

PHP: 
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<html>
<div id="menu">
<ul>
 
    <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="Blog.html">Blog</a></li>
    <li><a href="Gallery.html">Gallery</a></li>
    <li><a href="Documents.html">Documents</a></li>
    <li><a href="DoingDofE.html">Doing DofE</a></li>
    <li><a href="DofE_News.html">DofE News</a></li>
    <li><a href="ContactUs.html">Contact Us</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
 
If you are having problems with referencing the path to your include file you can do something like this.

PHP: 
include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/crg/admin_header.inc.php');

That way you are always starting from your root folder and then just tack on the path to your include file.
 
You could simply start all the address with a slash which sets it at the root directory. Instead of href="index.html" use href="/index.html" and no matter which directory you are in at the time it will bring you to the same address.

I'd agree with this. Simple and will work for all cases.
