>> what does it resolve the base to? It should be your document root.

So if you put ../ before the url it was always default to the root?

using <?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/footer.php'; ?> won't help me because it is a shared hosting server. (it is our server though so we can make any mods to it we want). thus all the sites on the servers are vituralhosts. and from what i can tell, you can't dynamically set a Document root with virtual hosts. also i do know that:
<?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/footer.php'; ?> and
<?php include '/footer.php'; ?>
do not resolve to the same thing. (at least with my virtualhosted configuration). phpinfo reports that my documentroot is the default documentroot from the main httpd.conf. and not what is resolved by the virtualdocumentroot. however if i set documentroot in the virtualhost block it reports this correctly, but its not dynamic. it seems like that kind of defeats the purpose?

why don't you just try echoing them to see which gives you the proper path? echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/footer.php'; should give you the correct file if the footer is located in the root of the domain echo '/footer.php'; should give the file if it is located at the root of the server itself, which I doubt for includes you are always dealing with the server's filesystem and is not relative to where your website may be setup >> you can't dynamically set a Document root with virtual hosts if you couldn't set it how would apache know where to look for the site?

jatar, first off, won't echoing '/footer.php' always output /footer.php regardless? secondly when echoing the documentroot, it is not the directory from where the files are being served. it echo either the default documentroot for the server or the explicitly set documentroot within the virtualhost block. Both of these values being different than what the virtualdocumentroot resolves too. this value resolves correctly and serves the files from the correct location, however i have no way of every echoing that value with a variable. so right off the bat i had the same question as you.... why does it know where to look for the files in the first place?

>> won't echoing '/footer.php' always output hahaha, sorry I got distracted somewhere in there, and I'm obviously an idiot >> however i have no way of every echoing that value with a variable hmmm, makes me think it's a config issue, honestly I have no idea, sorry, I would poke around in the apache docs to see if something is not configured quite right

This should work..... root/file1.php
<?php
if (!defined('ROOT_DIR')){
define('ROOT_DIR', dirname(__FILE__));
}
include(ROOT_DIR.'/folder1/file2.php');
?>
root/folder1/file2.php
<?php
if (!defined('ROOT_DIR')){
define('ROOT_DIR', dirname(dirname(__FILE__)));
}
include(ROOT_DIR.'/folder2/file3.php');
?>
root/folder2/file3.php
<?php
echo 'good';
?>
