PHP includes problem

[JDJones]

I'm stumped. I use PHP includes for my menu and page footer. I call them
with this:

<?PHP include("/opt2/home3/shared/public_html/mysite/texts/hvmenu.txt"); ?>

and

<?PHP include("/opt2/home3/shared/public_html/mysite/texts/footer.txt"); ?>

Both of these work just fine when I use them on a PHP page in my root
directory. But when I create a new directory ('test') and use them on a
page I put in there, only the page footer one displays as it should.

I have error_reporting(E_ALL); on the page and I do not get any PHP
error listed. I do not have access to the server logs so I cannot see if
there's any entry there.

I know the page has a .php extension, the directory is set to parse
them, and the file path to the texts is correct. The hvmenu.txt file is
in /texts where it is supposed to be and renders just fine on the pages
that call it from my root directory. I've tried IE 6 and NS 7.1 and get
the same results.

Anyone have any ideas what's wrong or better yet, how I can cure this?
Thanks.

Try using require() instead of include(), to see if there's any errors
thrown there.

Safe mode is on, and hvmenu.txt belongs to the wrong user?

Same result when using require. The page footer displays fine but the
menu doesn't. Yet when I move the file from 'test' to 'root', both work
absolutely perfectly.

No, safe mode is off. As I said in another reply, what stumps me the
most is that when I move the file from the 'test' directory and put it
back into 'root', both includes work just fine. I just can't seem to get
the menu to display when the file resides in 'test'.

Those paths look like virtual ones, don't see any reason why it should
cause a problem but if they are then you may want to try the physical
ones, if you can.
