They may have disabled URL includes. It's a security risk anyway, as
well as being an unnecessary overhead on the server. It's far better
to to use file paths, either relative or absolute, than URL paths.
If you don't know the full absolute file path (which you may well not,
on a shared host), then you can get the server to fill that in for you
by using this type of construction:
<?php
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/myfile.html");
?>
which is equivalent to a URL include of
<?php
include ("http://example.com/myfile.html");
?>
and will work from any page on the site, even in a subdirectory.
