$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] and require function

[visualazza]

hey,

 

i have been trying all day to get something to work that will allow me to replicate the / part of an href

<a href="/images/blah.jpg">

to go from the root folder in php.

 

i thought the easiest way to do this is to use php to get the domain address.

 

require($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/header.php");

 

i have gotten to this part but am still getting the error that the file doesnt exist probably because there is no http:// in front of it but i do not want to turn allow_url_includes on in the php.ini file.

 

How can i acheive this?

 

Thanks
