    php include

    Hi,

    i've just started on php. i want to split my site up into include files so that i can have seperate html files with my menu etc in and then include them in the php page. the code i've been using is below - when i do this i get the desired effect except there server puts a '1' in the webpage under the included part. Any ideas?

    My code:

    from my php file...
    [code=html]
    <div id="menu">

    <?= file "menu.html" ?>

    </div> <!--End of menu-->

    my include file:

    <ul>
    <li><a href="index.htm l">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="contact.h tml">Contact Us</a></li>
    <li><a href="radlok.ht ml">Radlok Cart Retention</a></li>
    <li><a href="sos.html" >SOS Product Security Alarm</a></li>
    <li><a href="eatmecrun chy.html">Eatme crunchy Cereal Bowl </a></li>
    <li><a href="paving.ht ml">Paving with a Message</a></li>
    <li><a href="timing.ht ml">Timing<br />Old Inventions</a></li>
    <li><a href="bio.html" >Gray Matter Biography</a></li>
    </ul>[/code]

          Or you could try

          [CODE=php]
          <?php include("folder/file.ext"); ?>
          [/CODE]
          or
          [CODE=html]
          <!--#include file="folder/file.ext" -->
          [/CODE]
          Note: thefile that has this second option in must be *.shtml so that the server knows to get the include fle or it can be *.php I believe.

          Cheers

              I know of an easier way that would help you in the long run.
              Divide your code with a | in the places you would make each page with.
              Then set it as a variable in your file, using explode each section is split apart from each other setting each as it's own ID the first portion would be $filearray[0] , 2nd, $filearray[1] etc...

              [php]
              <?php
              $file = '<html>| Random Text | pie | </html>';
              $filearray = explode('|' , $file);
              echo filearray[2];
              ?>
              [/php]

              That would make it easier right? :)

                  Tyler,

                  I'm intrigued by this approach to including external files. Are you outlining an alternative to the use of the PHP include() function?

                  I'm not sure I see the benefit of this approach over INCLUDE or even the SSI (<!--#include...)? What advantage does this methodology offer?

                  Cheers
