Using the require function

[Anon]

I am very new to php. I have set html peices such as a header.html, sidebar.html, and a footer.html. How could I use them on my php page using the require function?

The require function isn't recommeded for this.....the require function is ideal for when you have a page with functions that you wish to store in php's memory and then call on at a later time.

If you merely want to include a file in a script you can use the include funstion:

<?php
include("filename.php3);
?>

and then all that the file contains will be included right where you specified it.
