Hi,

You have the following:
[php]
<?php include("./includes/menu.php"); ?>
[/php]
I think you need either:
[php]
<?php include('../includes/menu.php'); ?>
[/php]
Note the double dot to take the system back up a directory or:
[php]
<?php include('includ es/menu.php'); ?>
[/php]
Note there is now no traversing up the directory structure just straight down.

If this doesn't help post back and remember to use the relevant code tags when posting code - it makes it easier to read and therefore easier to help.
Cheers

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
