Jquery .load() does not read php includes

Question

after i used jquery.load() it doesnt read the includes on index.php and makes home.php unreadable, heres my sample code. but if i manually added the contents of sqlcon.php on home.php it works, how can i fix this?

index.php

require 'sqlcon.php';
include 'portal.php';

portal.php

<script src="js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/ajax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div id="nav">
<ul>
<li><a href="modules/menu/home.php" class="nav">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="modules/menu/setup.php"  class="nav"> Setup</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="subnav"></div>

home.php

$result = mysql_query("SELECT announcement_date,announcement_title,announcement_text FROM sp_announcement") or die(mysql_error());  


    echo "<table id=\"newspaper-b\">";
    echo "<thead>";
    echo "<tr>";
    echo "<th scope=\"col\">Date</th>";
    echo "<th scope=\"col\">Title</th>";
    echo "<th scope=\"col\">Announcement</th>";
    echo "</tr>";
    echo "</thead>";

    while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
            echo "<tr>";
            echo '<td>' . $row['announcement_date'] . '</td>';
            echo '<td>' . $row['announcement_title'] . '</td>';
            echo '<td>' . $row['announcement_text'] . '</td>';
            echo "</tr>"; 
    } 
    echo "</table>";
    echo "<br>";
    echo "<br>";

ajax.js

$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.nav').click(function() {
var url = $(this).attr('href');
$('#subnav').load(url);
return false;
});
});

@hank i ddnt include it, but its on the actual file. Well Home.php doesnt read the include sqlcon.php and it just shows nothing — so bbqpork

Could it be that the php script is assuming the directory location of the javascript file that's calling it? In which case, you'll want to write the paths of the included files relative to the current working directory when it's loaded through the js.

To find the current directory, try putting this all the way on the top of your php file. (before the includes):

echo "Current Directory: " . getcwd();
exit;

Just a guess here, but your file links at the top are probably not being resolved.

You should be writing them as

<script src="/js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript">

instead of

<script src="js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript">

The logic being the relative link in include could now mean something different if youre putting included files in a /includes/ folder or something similar.
