include not working

I don't get it 😦 I'm using include for every page to get my server and my header. But on one reason doesn't work on this page…

<?php 
   include './Includes/server.php';
   include './Includes/header.php';
?>
// Rest of my code
<?php 
    include "./Includes/footer.php"
?>

<?php 
   include './Includes/server.php';
   include './Includes/header.php';
?>
// Rest of my code
<?php 
    include "./Includes/footer.php"
?>

my folder structure for this file is: |-- assets/ | |-- css/ | |-- js/ | |-- images/ | |-- includes/ | |-- header.php | |-- footer.php | |-- server.php | |-- pages/ | |-- admin/ | |-- kruiske-online.php this is the file where it doesn't work | |-- settings.php | |-- home.php Is there anyone that knows how I can fix this? Ps. I got these error messeges: Warning: include(C:\xampp\htdocs\twt-app.dev\pages\admin../../Includes/server.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\twt-app.dev\pages\admin\kruiske-online.php on line 2 Warning: include(): Failed opening 'C:\xampp\htdocs\twt-app.dev\pages\admin../../Includes/server.php' for inclusion (include_path='C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\twt-app.dev\pages\admin\kruiske-online.php on line 2 Warning: include(./Includes/header.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\twt-app.dev\pages\admin\kruiske-online.php on line 3 Warning: include(): Failed opening './Includes/header.php' for inclusion (include_path='C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\twt-app.dev\pages\admin\kruiske-online.php on line 3 Warning: include(./Includes/footer.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\twt-app.dev\pages\admin\kruiske-online.php on line 10 Warning: include(): Failed opening './Includes/footer.php' for inclusion (include_path='C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\twt-app.dev\pages\admin\kruiske-online.php on line 10

It's probably case sensitive Ah, and you're trying to include from ./,which is the current working directory, and that's not where the includes folder lives

But I have try every other path. ../ or even the whole path of my directory. And even that would not work?

Jochem•6mo ago

have you tried with a lower case i?

Rianẍa•6mo ago

yes I tried but doesn't work

Jochem•6mo ago

if your folder structure is correct, the include should be include('../../includes/header.php');

Rianẍa•6mo ago

It works! 😄 Thank you! Can I actually use this path for every file? Regardless of which folder it is in?

Jochem•6mo ago

no, that's a relative path. .. represents the parent folder, so that path will go two levels up, then into includes the alternative is an absolute path, which can be finnicky on windows too, and you also don't want to hard code that because you probably have a different path on your development machine than you do on production

Rianẍa•6mo ago

okay then I know 🙂 Thanks! then I can continue

instead of doing all that weird path traversal, you can use the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] variable, or maybe store it in a constant ending with DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR appended to it
