[Coming from the guy who believes that the brace notation is perverse and
ugly]
Alternatively, just concatenate two strings together:
<?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/incl/conf.php'); ?>
Akeem's right though - using a template is the overall simplest and most
effective way of dealing with PHP Includes From Hell(TM). Absolute paths
are your next best bet. I used both combined with mod_rewrite, confusing
the heck out of anyone who ever tried to understand my management system.
