hello. I will make up a script that is similar to the one I am using for my example.

question: am I writing this script right? what I want to do is use a file that is 2 folders in (from the parent folder) and use that file.

require_once mysite_ROOT.'images/'.sitetemplate.'/header.php';

if no please write that correctly it would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry about my mistake. I forgot to ask the question:)

Can you rephrase the question, and to be honest I don't see how that would do anything, but I can't rewrite it without knowing what your doing.

is '.sitetemplate.' supposed to be a variable?

Provided that "mysite_ROOT" and and "sitetemplate" are both constants which have been defined to generate a valid path to the file you want, yes. You can check if this is the case by switching the require_once into an echo to see what path is being generated.

Considering your rewrite of the question, why not go for simple:
require_once './folder/folder/file.php'

or as alex has said sitetemplate would work if it's been set as a constant.
if not, you would want to use $sitetemplate

Depends on if you wrote the script yourself, or if you are writing something to be added on to a script someone else wrote.

I am editing a script for my friend and that wasn't working correctly so I wanted to see if it was right or not but I will just us e the simple way you suggested trippn.

thanks for all the help

If you post the script, or a link to download and what file your editing, i'm sure someone here can figure it out

well as you said in your 2nd post to just go simple it works and I will just stick with that. thanks so much trippin.
