layout?

[hockeyboi16]

...ok, let's say i was doing a webpage, with a navigation bar....and like on hte index, i put in the "content" area, an include() statement, to include a file. how could i control what loads in to that same area when i click on a link in the side navigation bar?

do i have to create a new page, or what??

is this how some people can do layouts?

in order to use php you have to put a call into the server, but the call can be to the same script that generated the page currently loaded. Just pass a parameter that is the name of the file to load in the content area.
