Hey I'm new to the forums and very new to PHP. I'm trying to figure out how to make a portion of my website (my main layout) display from an external PHP file so if I need to make updates I only need to edit a single file. I thought at first this might have been CSS. I've tried looking on Google but can't find any help.
Here is a preview of my code. The content that I would like displayed in the exact place on this page is the menu that shows the links "Home, Join Now" and so forth:

Welcome! The website is currently under construction.

If someone needs to see the actual website to give me a hint, please let me know. I'm going crazy trying to find a solution.
Thanks in advance,
