include files!!!!!!

[ohdang888]

hey.
i am using include files a lot.
but to save space, i don't want to include the same include files in every folder, (such as menu and footer)

so how to i command the php to look back one folder

for example
<?php include("footer.php"); ?>

hwo would you say "that file is one folder back"
i tried <?php include("*\footer.php"); ?>, but thats not working

One folder back is ".." (in every OS):

Code: Select all

<?php include '../footer.php'; ?>
