server side include

how to include a file from a different folder

[Farout]

I would like to use ssi to get some tabels on multible pages in subfolders, but I cant seem to get it to load from a higher folder.

works fine with <!--#include file="tabel.php" --> when tabel.php is in the same folder.
Is there any simple way to include a file from the root folder on pages in several subfolders?

Thanks

On IIS it would be:
<!--#include virtual="/tabel.php" -->

Sure! Just add a slash:

<!--#include file="/tabel.php" -->

The slash indicates that the base path will start at root, whereas no slash will set the base path at the current directory.

On IIS, if you add a /slash you also have to change file= to virtual=.

Good call Lance. I haven't done IIS in years.

Thanks a lot guys "virtual" did the trick :)
<!--#include virtual="/tabel.php" -->
