Try print_r($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]); and make sure you are getting
a file path as expected on the remote host and $_SERVER is working ok,
might be an old version of PHP on the hosting server.

You could also try PHP_SELF var as the script is calling itself so you
shouldn't need to worry about a path.

include($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);
or
include("./" . $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);

if its a really old PHP on the hosting server it might use registered
globals... eg. $PHP_SELF ?
