I have a feeling /php5 doesn't even exist.

You're running this on a web server, the / refers to the absolute path.

Let's say your site uses a LAMP Stack with Cpanel. Your public html files would be in

/home/you/public_html/

So when you reference something in html, it looks for it at the domain root. www.whatever.com/whatever.jpg for example. But PHP, because it's server side, looks at the server.

When you type in /php5/class.Demo.php it's looking at the root of the hard drive to find the php5 folder.

If you type in /home/you/public_html/php5/class.Demo.php it'll work. But that's a pain in the ass. It's better to just reference it to where the file is.

For example. Say your site structure is like this

domain root (.com) -->

index.php

php5-->

class.Demo.php

Now, you want to include class.Demo.php in the index.php file. You can't start it with a / because it'll look at the hard drive. So you would do
include('php5/class.Demo.php'); or require('php5/class.Demo.php');

I've given up most includes for requires now as they pretty much power my scripts and sites and it's pointless without them.
