title: Include creating HTTP 500
body: <p>So, I am just about ready to kill a kitten. This is driving me up the wall. </p>
  
  <p>I have a php file I need to include, call it <code>functions.php</code>  I have tried the following to include it:-</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><code>include './includes/functions.php';</code></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>When I did this, I discovered that I get a White Screen of Death. So I went onto more creative solutions;</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><code>echo ((include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. "/includes/functions.php") == 'OK') ? 'GOOD IMPORT' : 'BAD IMPORT';</code></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>This was purely to see a visual response to the import. But to no avail, still the White Screen of Emptiness. </p>
  
  <p>The file does exist. </p>
  
  <p>Please, any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
