[thelist] PHP breadcrumbs & directory navigation

[Howard Cheng]

For images, it's easy, just start from the root folder:

<img src="/images/logo.gif">

For your includes, you'll want to do something similar, except that to
start from your web folder root, you should be using $DOCUMENT_ROOT (or
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] for PHP 4.2+).

<?
include("{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/incl/conf.php");
?>

The braces {} are necessary for interpreting hash (associative array)
variables properly. If it's just an indexed array, you wouldn't need the
braces.
