Include Function

I'm a php challenged person but am required to "include" a php script/file into another php page.

Haveing searched around I have seen several ways to do an include () function but many seem old? or more complex than needed for just a simple include.

Would this code below work to include the abcd.php file/script into an existing php page?

<?php include("abcd.php"); ?>

TIA

 

that code will work provided that the file calling the script is inside the same directory as 'abcd.php'

 

Otherwise, I would recommend using an absolute server path.

 

Thank a lot - just what i needed to know

 

code may work provided which file calling the script inside the same directory
