"include" not working on .php pages.

[Acternaweb]

Currently I have .shtml pages that use
<!--#include virtual="/menu/phpddm.php -->
to display my menu. It works great until I come on a .php page. How do I get the same script to run on those pages? Please tell me it is possible.

Thanks,

php.net/include/

yeah I read and tried that, but what happens is when I put the include into the .php page I get an error from the script being included that a required file is in the wrong directory. Basically if I fix the file location for one error it causes another. I have tried to hard code the full url too.

Could you please post the exact error message?

I don't know if I have anything to offer, but I'm quite curious as to why this doesn't work (it should in theory, no?). :)

What about changing the page to .php, and then use

<?php include("/menu/phpddm.php")?>

?

On the php pages use the php include command to call the php file. On the shtml files use the ssi include command to call the php file.

The menu.php file is the same. Is that what you are looking for?

You can't call an shtml file from a php page with an ssi include.

No just the opposite, I am trying to "call" a php script on to a .shtml page and it wont work

May I ask why? Why not just make it a php page and use include? It seems like it would simplify things in several ways.

Sure, I am using a script that I got from Hot Scripts and said to call it that way.

This is what happens when I make the index.shtml index.php. The page does load 2 of the scripts
