Hey everyone,

On my site I tend to use php just to make sure the menu and footer is the same by all the my pages reading from one place.

Anyway I just started playing around with making subdomains, I thought when I make a directory in my root folder a subdomain, the folder became root for all sites in that folder. This holds for my css file in a folder.

But when I put the script

Code:
<?php
    require_once("/php/menu.php");
?>

in the index page, it produces an error

Code:
Warning: require_once(/php/menu.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/gauntfac/public_html/tutorials/index.php on line 13

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/php/menu.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/gauntfac/public_html/tutorials/index.php on line 13

I can fix this by removing the first / in /php/menu.php but I don't see why this doesn't work, is there some setting I need to change in cPanel to make this work? I'm tsohost if that helps at all
