Loading sections of HTML into a php Page

[paintcheck200]

Here is what I would like to do.

Have a php page that loads a certian section of html from a seperate file that contains the desired html. I would probably just use a session value to decide wich file of html to load. How do I load the file into a string and then print it into the page?
or em I oging about this all wrong?

Thx in advance

You could put all of the html into seperate functions and include it in your page, then use your session variabels to determine what to display and call the cirresponding function:

<?php
include('html.php');

if($_SESSION['area'] == "one") {
    displayAreaOne();
} elseif( etc.... )
    displayAreaTwo();
}
?>

I hope this helps
