Using header and footer global includes

[cbeaudry]

I'm having a problem wrapping the cart within the overall look of my site. I can cut and paste the code of my header and footer files but would much rather call an include at the appropriate places in the cart. That way, if a future global change is made, I won't have to tinker with the cart files.

 

Problem is that I get an error when using either include or require_once and putting the filename in there. The page returns an error saying:

 

Warning: main(/includes/breadcrumb.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/apache/sites/website.com/beta/store/includes/header.php on line 167

 

Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening '/includes/breadcrumb.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /usr/local/apache/sites/website.com/beta/store/includes/header.php on line 167

 

As I said, I'd prefer not to put the whole chunk of code in the cart's header and footer files. If I could just have a simple include for the whole site's header and footer, that would be my preference.

 

Any ideas how to do this?

Try adding this to the end of your footer.php file and place your file in the includes directory /usr/local/apache/sites/website.com/beta/store/includes

 

<?php include("filename.php") ?>

I got it to work by adding the entire path to the header and footer files. That way, I only have to update the two files at the site root for the entire site to change instead of duplicating changes for the site and then the cart separately.
