[thelist] stupid php include question

[Diane Soini]

I'm sorry. I'm a php novice. I checked php.net but the answer was not 
apparent to me there.

When you use SSI you can include a file using / as the root level. 
Doesn't seem to work for php. How the heck do you do the same? Example 
SSI:
<!--#include virtual="/path/to/file.html" -->

Sorry.
Diane
