Courses Plus Student 709 PointsWell, i did require_once('inc/config.php'); than include(ROOT_PATH . 'inc/header.php'); ?>
config
<?php
define("BASE_URL","/");
define("ROOT_PATH",$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/");
and the header/footer does not loads, so i have no css, nothin if i remove "ROOT_PATH" from include, it loads, if i edit "ROOT_PATH" to "", not works either.

6,274 Pointswhy don't you just use include_once("../inc/config.php') and if i'm correct everything should work then. So for example if you having a index.php which includes header and footer you can do this
<?php include_once('../inc/config.php');?>
<div>
<!-- include here header -->
<?php include_once('../inc/header.php');
?>
etc..

Courses Plus Student 709 PointsWell, the lesson is about config.php, to use, when you move your entire site, or in need to use paths. I can do as you say, it works, but i'm trying to understand how to use config.php and use the define words.
