What you need to do is include the path to the file in relation to the file
that is including it, this can be an absolute path or a relative path.
Eg.
Assuming the file is located in /www/foo/htdocs/foo/index_test.php and the
include file is in /www/foo/htdocs/
Absolute path: require("/www/foo/htdocs/header.htm");
Relative path: require("../header.htm");
It may be easiest to use a variable for the include path.
Eg.
$includePath = "/www/foo/htdocs/";
require($includePath."header.htm");
I hope this helps.
