Including a header php page *finished*

[mendhak]

I have another question:

I'm currently using

include("../header.php"); 

The above code goes into a file that is in a folder in the root folder, and is including a header.php file that is in the root.

However, when I try to use

include("/header.php"); 

to specify the same header.php file in the root folder, it won't work, and instead gives me an error message. I want to use this second piece of code instead of the first, since it will save an awful lot of work for me.

Any help?
