Linda,

Thanks for the suggestion - I thought I had answered; the problems of split attention ;-).

I am just so rusty on everything that I'm deliberately sticking to what i had assumed was the simplest format at this point (shtml) which gives some ssi! PHP would be a better option; I'm just suffering some mental block that is holding me up. It has been, shall we say, an eventful couple of years! ..and continues...

Joseph,

Have you tried a php include? I believe you said you were using php, didn't you? I'd offer the syntax for it, but since I'm not sure, I'd probably just mess you up.

Thanks,
Linda

I have a sub-folder which calls from the main folder. A gif is called successfully thus:

You want a space before the close of the comment, i.e.:

<!--#include file="../site-links.txt" -->

Also, another option is using include virtual="..." to supply the full path from the document root:

<!--#include virtual="/site-links.txt" -->

If neither of those work, check the server's error_log for clues.

Still nothing; have tried every variation from your advice. Here is a shortened extract from the log - which tells nothing except I have a problem! ;-)

[Fri Jan 02 16:24:24 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] unable to include file "../site-links.txt" in parsed file

I tried uploading to the host, and exactly the same problem http://www.controlyourdebtcrisis.co.uk/book-cydc/cydc_pt1.shtml with this
<!--#include file="../site-links.txt" --> and this
<!--#include file="../site-links.txt"-->

Is there some variation with php5 which might affect it? I'm trying to develop a template fot that folder, so need some resolution; I'm reluctant to just copy the files because of future overlooking!

This is the one that works:
<!--#include virtual="../site-links.txt" --> I thought I had tried it, but maybe not.

;-) However, this now causes problems with picking up the images!

Again, Dave, many thanks for the help which led me to the solution.
