I can not see my pictures when I use Server Side Includes

[campinginoregon]

I am trying to use SSI in my header and it will not show the image if the page is to deep in my files:

Does not work:

http://www.campingcoaches.com/states/oregon/oregon.php The code is <?php include("../../includes/header2.php"); ?>

but is I move it up on level:

http://www.campingcoaches.com/states/colorado.php the Code is <?php include("../includes/header2.php"); ?>

Then it seems to work fine

I have also tried to make the header relative to the site root at that point I got a error message.

http://www.campingcoaches.com/states/oregon/oregon.php you can see the code error

The menus both use the same Code and they work?

<?php include("../../includes/menu2.php"); ?>

I am playing around and learning this so my knowledge base is relitively thin but I enjoy computers and the outdoors. Bottom line be gentle and assume you are I know very little at age 50 and just getting started.

This was already posted in Adobe Forums > Dreamweaver > Dreamweaver Development Toolbox > PHP Application Development > Discussions  without a response so I thought i might be in the wrong area.

Thank you for any help that might be offered,

The header that does not work

<div align="right"><img src="../images/family 2.jpg" width="320" height="226" /><img src="../images/hiking mountain ridge 2.jpg" width="760" height="226" /></div>

The menus are that works is:

<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
    <li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="/index.php">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">RV Camping</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Tent Camping</a></li>
     <li><a href="/Googlemaptest_3.php">Back Packing</a>
       <ul>
         <li><a href="#">Trails</a></li>
         <li><a href="/Googlemaptest_4.php" class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">Local Hikes</a>
           <ul>
             <li><a href="#">Pacific Crest Trail</a></li>
           </ul>
         </li>
       </ul>
     </li>
    <li><a href="#">With the Kids</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Camping Tips</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Ask a Friend</a></li>
    <li><a href="/web_pages/about_us.php">About us</a></li>
</ul>

<script type="text/javascript">
var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar1", {imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif", imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});
</script>

if you need anything else just let me know.

As I suspected.  All links in include files must be root relative links, not document relative ones.

This link does not work -

<img src="../images/family 2.jpg"  (document relative)

while this link does work -

<a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="/index.php"> (root relative)

Make all links in your include files be root relative, and you'll never have a problem.
