I have installed LAMP and have started working on my web site. For some reason, my include isn't working. Here is what I have.

<?php

$title="Study Question | Your Study Buddy";
$currentpage="includes/pages/index.php";
include "includes/page.php";

?>

It will include a file if it is in the same folder. Why is it not included here?

is it in a sub folder like the variable above? include "includes/pages/page.php";

Code looks alright, so must be a path problem.

Assuming that the page you are on is located at "includes/pages/index.php" and you want to include the page at "includes/page.php", what you need to do is type in:

include '../page.php';

Typically, you would include a file that is within a child folder rather than a file that is in a parent folder, but the approach has been used to include configuration settings. WordPress supports configuration files that are located in a parent folder too (move the configuration file to a folder up in the hierarchy and check it out!).

Try using a relative, so

<?php

$title="Study Question | Your Study Buddy";
$currentpage="includes/pages/index.php";
include "./includes/page.php";

?>
