Yes, ../ is for a unix user. Try ..\\ if you feel more comfortable with DOS/Windows.

I am not getting any good results for the “include” PHP code here and I can’t figure it out.

This is the PHP code I put into my index.php page:

I made the two PHP pages in Notepad exactly as it is above and opened it straight in my browser and the links do not show at all.

For something apparently so simple, I am spending way too much time on learning PHP.

I also, after a lot of research, downloaded XAMPP, but I haven’t touched it yet because for an absolute beginner with PHP, it is basically learning Japanese.

Thanks for pointing out the security issues. That’s something I hadn’t really thought through before.

after look for about 20 min for how to include files in other directories, finally found the answer on your page. Thanks for taking the time.

it would also make sense to make inclusion paths be the written directory path/location of the file, but i guess ‘../’ works too… if you’re a unix user.
