It's started that "head-boiling" feeling in me again! It doesn't work with ANY of my include files, and I'm getting tired of having to put mulitple includes throughout the dir structure (which sort of goes against the idea of having them in the first place)

I know my own host only supports it with dedicated servers. Nigel _____________________________ Innerview Web Design - Virtual Tours - 360 Panoramas - Shopping carts (in reply to yogaboy)

Includes/file.txt This tells the server that the Includes file is on the same directory tree level as the page that's calling the include. _____________________________ In order to remove a wall you must first remove the Windows® (in reply to yogaboy)

My tree is parent/MEMBERS_AREA parent/INCLUDES I was calling the file in INCLUDES from MEMBERS_AREA I should point out, that now I can't call the includes from files in the parent. This is so strange! <!--#INCLUDE VIRTUAL="INCLUDES/ChangeAgents.txt"--> does not find the include if I use it in the parent dir, but it does work from MEMBERS_AREA... (in reply to bobby)

aaronwiles Posts: 200 Joined: 7/5/2004 From: Aaron Wiles Status: offline	RE: virtual includes - 1/1/2005 20:39:54 Your seem to be getting file & virtual includes confused. A file include is directory specific, a virtual include always starts from the home directory. E.G. www.domain.co.uk/common/includes/header.asp, would be included in page "page.asp" located in directory www.domain.co.uk/members/ as... File include: <!--#INCLUDE FILE="../common/includes/header.asp"--> Virtual include: <!--#INCLUDE VIRTUAL="common/includes/header.asp"--> I hope that now explains the differance. _____________________________ You really never learn to swear until you get a computer.
