Including a page in another page.

[Anon]

Hello all,
I am trying to determine a good design for all my web pages. I have a set of html pages and at the top of each page I would like the navigation buttons. Since the navigation is common to each page, I thought it would be sensible to have the navigation in a seperate file. Then, changes to the navigation doesn't need repeating in each file!
Then, each file would include the top navigation as it loaded. I need to know the command to pull in the navigation page.
Or an alternative better stratergy if one exists! Is this the common way to do it?
My webhost supports PHP!

Thanks in advance
- Peter

A little research goes a longway; use require() or include() to include PHP or HTML files in your script.

You can also use templates, which are more complex, but much more flexible in the end.
