includes()

[mastero4]

I am trying to figure out the includes() like HTML's Front Page does Page Includes. I have alot of pages that I change often and need to make it so that I change one page and all pages change.

How would I begin this?

Thank You.

Save all the common code in the a file called say myinclude.php4

then use
include(%path%/myinclude.php4);

It will include and execute the myinclude.php4

Of course if myinclude.php4 is only html code it works like I understand you want it.

The basic idea of this is:
You can create pages "header.php" and "footer.php"
Then you can create a page called "index.php"
Inside of index.php could have
<?PHP
include("header.php");
echo"This is my body of the page....";
include("footer.php");
?>

NOTE: You can use include("header.php"); or you can use incluse($header_program);

Now whenever you change header or footer the index page will change. For more details review include, include_once, require, and require_once

Good Luck,

Thank you for the info. Can I seperate out the PHP fields such as the following?

<?PHP
include("header.php");
?>
This is my body of the page....
<?PHP
include("footer.php");
?>

and a 3rd one for a form like:

<?PHP
include("header.php");
?>
This is my body of the page....
<?PHP
this is the form script...
?>
More text here...
<?PHP
include("footer.php");
?>

Thank You.

The short answer...Yes you can do what you ask.

All OK.

<?PHP
include("header.php");
?>
This is my body of the page....
<?PHP
include("footer.php");
?>

and a 3rd one for a form like:

<?PHP
include("header.php");
?>
This is my body of the page....
<?PHP
this is the form script...
?>
More text here...
<?PHP
include("footer.php");
?>
