I tried to use this command (<?php include("header.php"); ?> and it worked wonders. However it seems like it does not include images properly. Is there a fix for this?

Remember that if you use relative URLs in the src they become relative to the including file. No trick needed.

I'm trying to call public_html/header.php to one of my files located in public_html/forums. When I do this however, it is locating images from public_html/forums/images and not public_html/images. All the images header.php uses are of course in public_html/images. So how do I fix it so that it looks for images in public_html/images instead of public_html/forums/images?

Use absolute (http://...) or root relative (/...) URLs for images and the like.

So how do I fix it so that it looks for images in public_html/images instead of public_html/forums/images? Just a second... what do you mean by "include images"? If in the middle of a php program/web page you suddenly put include "images/elephant.jpg"; this will include the actual image file into the php program, and php will immediately stop with a fatal error, because it can't interpret the image file as PHP (not surprisingly). Perhaps you mean something else? |

Yes, something else. Trafalgar describes the problem above.
