I am working on local server, but I am having problem including files, even with full path given. eg, I have a file /home/[user]/public_html/vt/test.php like this:

<?php    
 include_once('/home/<user>/public_html/vt/Menu.php');
 print "included_once called.\n";     
?>

I got error in error_log:

failed to open stream: No such file or directory

/home/[user]/public_html/vt/Menu.php exists, and access right is:

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 <user> apache 3906 Jul  5 08:43 <full/path/of/the/file>

The local documentRoot folder is set to (recursively):

drwxr-xr-x.  4 <user> apache     4096 Jul 26 14:06 public_html

So what is wrong?

try something like that: (DIR is a magic constant which contains the directory of the current file)

include_once dirname(__FILE__).'/Menu.php';

// PHP >= 5.3
include_once __DIR__.'/Menu.php';
