I have my site working on php includes and I created a page that has cutenews embeded on it and it works fine on there but it shows the error message.

eg.

ERROR! page not found!

Try echoing out where you're looking for it.

change; include to echo.

You're probably looking in the wrong directory for it.

Where is "Error: not found" generated in? Unless it's a PHP error, in which case it'll be "line XX in file.php", if so, paste that segment of the file please.

(removing any sensitive data if required)

heres the whats inside the document where when viewed in index.php?page=title.php

Code:

<html>

<?PHP
$category=2;
include("/home/zipped/public_html/site/backend/show_news.php");
?>
</html>

Yes not all tags are there because they arn't really needed.

Is..

PHP Code:


include("/home/zipped/public_html/site/backend/show_news.php");

the line that's giving you the file not found error? If so, check it exists at that ^ location.

Also I hate using absolute directories (unfortunately sometimes required), try using a relative path.
