PHP doesn't support server side includes because you need a .shtml extension to do it. That's why there is the include() function, only it doesn't work for you...which sucks =(.
The include function should work fine with absolute paths, I remember reading a tutorial that said that's how you do it. I just don't think it is going to work for him. You can try the full URL if you want...but, I doubt it will make any difference. I think include() just isn't going to work.
