How to Use Includes in PHP

- by northofnowhere on 05/23/06, 8:49PM CEST (3270 Views)

One of the first great concepts to learn in PHP is an include. It allows a very simple way to include a header and footer (or other items) on every page, or selected pages. In the future when your site has updates to be done to the header or such of the pages, you will only need to update one page, instead of every page. This is a great timesaver and has a multitude of purposes.

Steps:
1) Create a basic php index page named index.php

Code:

<?php include("menu.inc"); ?>
<p>This is my website!</p>
</body>
</html>

2) Create your include file named head.inc

Code:

<html><body>
<a href="index.php">Main Page</a> -
<a href="about.php">Who We Are</a> -
<a href="links.php">Favorite Links</a> -
<a href="contact.php">Contact Us</a>

3) Upload to server, to edit your header simply edit the head.inc page from now on. Simple and easy.

4) Copy the include script from index.php to all relevant pages you would like your header to show in. This can be done for footers or any other information you wish to appear on multiple pages.

Notes:
The include file may be names anything you with and end in many extensions such as .txt, .inc, .abc, .php.
