Problems including a file referenced from SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']

[monomaniac21]

Why does this find the file:

<img
src="<?=$_SERVE R['DOCUMENT_ROOT']?>/images/viessmann_heade r_logo.gif">

But this does not?

$right_content =
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."includes/content/content.php";

include $right_content;

include $right_content;

Perhaps:
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/includes/content/content.php";

Note the extra slash.

I really doubt that this works. Is $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] set at all?
Is error_reporting set to E_ALL? Why do you use unreliable short open
tags?

$right_conten t =

include $right_content;

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/includes/content/content.php";

(topposting fixed)

Well then:
ini_set('displa y_errors',1);
error_reporting (E_ALL);
$right_content = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."includes/content/content.php";
include($right_ content) or die ("File $right_content not found");

And check wether you really can find it in that particular dir manually...

Micheal Fesser also makes a good point:
<img src="<?=$_SERVE R['DOCUMENT_ROOT']?>/images/viessmann_heade r_logo.gif">

Should not work, or only locally, as you document root is not visible to
others, only to yourself. It should fail on every computer except your own,
unless indeed $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is not set.
