I can't be sure but chances are your paths are wrong.
Whe you do
<?php include ("includes/nav.php"); ?>
You are including w.r.t to the current path
i.e.
/srv/www/htdocs/jennifer/jennifer.php is the file and its looking for
nav.php at
/srv/www/htdocs/jennifer/includes/nav.php
Now if say nav.php is being included but includes inside nav.php still might
be wrong. (such as your style sheets).
I'm currently having a similar issue and trying to find a work around. You
can use absolutely paths but in my case I'm looking at a way that php can
modify the links inside the script.
i.e., in my case I have
root dir---
Index.php
Styles/Main.css
OtherDir/SomePage.php
Somepage.php includes index.php but index.php includes main.css
Now if I load up index.php it all works but when I include index.php into
SomePage.php I only get the contents of index.php but not the style sheet
because its trying to find the style sheet w.r.t to OtherDir instead of the
root dir.
e.g. Somepage loads Index.php as if it copied Index.php to OtherDir but
Index.php is then looking for OtherDir/Styles/Main.css which doesn't.
If you go into Index.php and use ../Styles/Main.css to get it to work with
SomePage then you break it when using Index.php(in most cases).
I cannot use absolute paths for a specific reason but I have yet to find a
solution.
