Hi,
This is come thing that I have struggled with now and again. I usaually
us php code to make it work, but was wondering how others deal with this
I use includes in most of the web applications that I work on to include
the header, footer, menu etc.
The problem that I always run into as a project gets bigger is my links
to pages. If all the files are in the root directory theres no problem.
If I have some files in a folder and call my menu for example <?
include("../menu.php"); ?> I have to call if from the parent
directory. But then of course
all the links are wrong. Root becomes the calling directory.
I usually use a php variable to place the ../ if its needed.
How does everyone else deal with this type of problem. I have a times
places an extra copy of the footer, menu, header etc in each directory
but it is a pain to change links
when you have multiple locations to do it in.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I would be nice to have a simple way to have my include files in a
common place that works and keeps the links right.

I didn't see anybody else mention this, so:
$mydir = dirname(__FILE__);
include($mydir . '/../nav/menu.php');
works every time and you don't have to rely on document_root being set
properly etc.
