Q: file path in php includes

[NoPeasHear]

How do I make the following work? I tried a few different versions, and I can't seem to quiet get it right. I am trying to create a universal php include.

Changing this:
[PHP]
<?php include("menu.php"); ?>
[/PHP]

to something like this....
[PHP]
<?php include("www.homepagehere.com/includes/menu.php"); ?>
[/PHP]

PHP is server side so you can't put the web address in but you can base it off of the root server folder in this way:
[PHP]
<?php include("/includes/menu.php"); ?>
[/PHP]

I am sorry to disappoint you, theMadMidget, but you can. Try this test. Store on your server and run A.PHP.
[php]
A.PHP:
<?php
include ('http://www.mysite.com/b.php');
include ('c.php');
?>

B.PHP:
<?php
echo 'This is B.PHP<br>';
?>

C.PHP:
<?php
echo 'And this is C.PHP<br>';
?>[/php]

What kind of system are you using ronverdonk, because I have PHP 4 on Unix and that doesn't work?
