smaller code required

qnc

Really simple one just want a new line after include files so that the html looks good.

include('./preload-images.js'); //end
//for pretty html code
echo "\n"; //end

is there a way of getting

 \n [\php] in the include command?

include('./preload-images.js')\n; //end
doesn't work

klik

include('./preload-images.js'); //end
echo "<br><br>";
//for pretty html code
echo "<br><br>"; //end

Like this?

You should just be able to add some extra carriage returns to your javascript file you are including. I don't think include() strips those out.

I'm assuming by the file extension of ".js" that you're including a javascript file. Have you thought about having the browser call it instead? The adventage is the browser can cache it reducing page load times and bandwidth on your server.

how do I do this?

Also can this be done with CSS as well?

On the carrigde returns then I have to remeber to do that in every include file wanted some way of just adding it after calling the file

No, this is strictly JavaScript. You can't do this with CSS. Although the technique used to include the javascript file works much like including a CSS file. Here's a code sample of including a javascript file:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/yourdirectory/yourfile.js"></script>

This is way better than using PHP's include(). Also, you don't need to keep adding carriage returns to these files since the browser is the only one that will be interested in the file's contents. And the less data you have in these files, the quicker they will transfer to your web users.

I HIGHLY recommend you look into how javascript and CSS works. How they're used. And how you actually use them. Feel free to view the source of a number of web sites and see how they make it all work.

That would be:

<script type="text/javascript" src="./preload-images.js"></script>

Yes you can do something similiar in CSS as well, with @include I think, or simply by using <link>

So would you echo that out instead of include or would you end the php that you where using there and have thoes lines as html?

I still don't know if a variable is for a page or a script i.e.
<?php $Variable='something'; ?>
<?php echo "$Variable"; ?>

is the same as
<?php $Variable='something'; echo "$Variable"; ?>

either echoing or closing PHP and using HTML would be the same, the general 'accepted' practice I suppose you could say is to keep as much HTML OUTSIDE of your PHP code as possible (ie, echoing it)

and yes, your $_Variable question those are both the same
