 Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2006 3:51 am Post subject: linking a php page to an HTML page |
 |
|
Im new to php but i am getting better, i just today leanred hot to use the Print(); function, the mail(); function and some other stuff. My question is can i have an external .php file and link it to an HTML file?
The php file would contain things like footer and stuff like that then when i need to put the footer at the bottom i can just put:
<?
Print($footer);
?>
Which means i only need to change the footer 1 time when i change it
I have tried doing this with a <link> tag but i didnt get it working but maybe i did it wrong :/

In the HTML file, put this where you want the contents of the file to appear:
| Code: | <?php
include('filename.php');
?> |

Or, if its a very important file (one that MUST be included on every page)
use this:
| Code: | | <?php require_once 'page.php'; ?> |
That will cause your script to die if it cannot load the page
