werid php issue

[ChrisTech]

I have a customer, whose site will show their drop down menu (its php) on their front page, but it won't show up on any other pages.

I don't think anything was done to the server (cpanel63) recently to cause this. They just noticed it over the weekend.

Any ideas on why this might happen? Their URL is (http://www.redbudindustries.com/) I'm at a loss on this one currently, though I haven't had time to look it up yet.

That's almost always a pathing error in an include() or require() statement.

However, I do see a "<?php include("http://www.redbudindustries.com/rbimenu.htm"); ?>" commented out in the html source. That'll certainly prevent it from working.

Should be fixed now. Since you are using HTTP based includes you need PHP 5. I simply did what is listed at the link below to enable PHP 5 for the domain.

Having said that, you really should never use HTTP to include a local file.

This would work much better and would have avoided this problem all together:

include("/home/**user**/public_html/rbimenu.htm");

Thanks for the help both of you. I forwarded on the info to the customer.
