Re: Here is a silly question

I put all the generic include files such as the header and menu in their
own directory.  Then I put that directory in the include_path ini
variable.  I would normally set it in the virtualhost file but .htaccess
should work as well, you can even set it in the script.

This means I can simply include the file using:
<?php include("menu.php"); ?>
