[thelist] PHP, include() and relative links

[Peter Van Dijck]

tip:

What I always do is define the path
define (PATHTOROOT, "/www/server/htdocs/");
and then do all includes like this:
include (PATHTOROOT . "/file/template.php");

Again, the path depends on your provider. You can probably find it out by 
FTP-ing and see what directories you get there before the htdocs publicly 
viewable one.
