[RESOLVED] include file function

kclark

I have a gallery that uses 2 files, a slideshowscript.php & template.html. I use another page, slideshow.php, that simply says

<?PHP include("../slideshowscript.php");?>

. Is there a way to also include the template.html page. If I make any changes to the slideshowscript.php page, I only have to change the original page and the include pages pick up the changes. I would like to be able to do the same with the template.html page so if I make a change, I don't have to change or copy the page 50 times. Is there a way to do this?

Variables set in one include file will trickle down to another:

include('a_big_script_full_of_vars.php');
include('a_template_for_the_vars.php');

It will be done in order of inclusion, but your template html should be a php script so you can do this stuff:

<head><title><?php echo $some_title_var; ?></title></head>
