I'm not sure why this isn't working, so I must not be understanding things correctly.

I'm putting a working live site onto my localhost for dev work.

so my site can be seen at the url:

example.com

or at:

localhost/example.com

OK. I Have a page at

example.com/video/pageone.php

On that page, I'm linking to a header by navigating to:

<?php include '/home/myserver/public_html/includes/website/website-header.php'; ?>

For some reason, This will not work (on the live site):

<?php include 'http://www.example.com/includes/website/website-header.php'; ?>

Can anyone tell me why 1) The above http address will not work, and 2) how can I make this work in localhost?

Thanks!
