I have Dreamweaver CS3 and have installed Xampp.

I have configured the DW testing server profile to point to C:\xampp\htdocs\

When I tell index.php to preview in browser, the file opens as expected except I get the following warning.

"Warning: include(z-sidenav.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 23"

So, I'm guessing my includes file are not mapped correctly.
I'd appreciate your suggestions for the correct configuration in order to properly display include files.

Do you find this File in your Explorer?

C:\xampp\htdocs\z-sidenav.php

No, the file z-sidenav.php is not in the htdocs file. z-sidenav.php is resident with my other collateral files in the folder I have defined for the Dreamweaver assets for this site.

I am now wondering if I need to re-set the Dreamweaver site manager and make htdocs hold all of my php files?

Either do that - or edit php.ini and edit the value of include_path and add the path you choose in Dreamweaver for the include files.

Restart Apache after changing php.ini.

Okay. It sort of makes sense to me now.

I just thought that the "include" or "require" php files should work the same way as my graphic s when previewing index.php in my browser.

I probably won't change the "ini" file as every website I do will have a different root folder. That would be a hassle to change the php.ini files everytime, don't you think?
