Question

So basically all of my files have include('http://website.com/static/header.php') nav.php, and footer.php. It worked on my host, but now I’m hosting it myself on Ubuntu. It’s not working at all! In php.ini allow_url_include = On Can and yes the files are all there, and the cases are proper.

Answer 1

There is absolutely no need to include a file from a remote server for what you are trying to do. I would go as far as tell you to not do it. If you need some random banner as you state in your question just include the local file:

main.php

<?php
// some php code...

include('/path/to/file/banner.php');

banner.php

<?php

$banners = array('banner1.jpg', 'banner2.jpg');

echo '<img src="' . $banners[mt_rand(0, 1)] . '" alt="some banner">';
