I recently set up my website to use PHP includes to load the header and footer of my layout (thanks to miljee for all the help) Now this work perfectly online, however it's completely crashed the offline version I keep in my "sites" folder.

To start off with I'd like to say that I have "personal web sharing" activated, and that before moving to this include system the entire website ran perfectly in my "sites" folder.

Having messed around with this for the last day or so, here is what I think is wrong. In order to use the PHP includes on my server I was forced to use absolute urls to draw up my header.php, footer.php, and site.css files.

So for example on my main index page the include line for the header is:

include ("include ("/home2/www/infinite-style/includes/header.php");

In order to try and mimic this in my sites folder I've created folders in the same path as on my server, so it goes:

sites / home2 / www / infinite-style /

and then from there all of the website files lay. This however doesn't seem to work. Neither the header, footer, nor css file load at all.

Anyone had any suggestions on how I can fix this? I'm certain that it is in relation to using absolute urls. I really don't want to have to keep two versions of the site, that doesn't seem very effective.

Anyone here know the inner workings of the "site" folder in OS-X, maybe by using / at the beginning of the url, I'm actually going further out from the "site" folder into some hidden directory.

Any help would be appreciated.
