Someone with PHP knowledge please help...

Hello, I have recently jumped into php and redesigend my entire site with it.

The question I have is fairly simple:

How do I use server side includes with PHP? I am familiar with the .shtml extension for it's use, but I have no clue as to wether or not I can do the same with the php extension.

Someone please help me on this, would be greatly appreciated, and save soooooo much work!

You can use the following:


include ('filename.php');


where filename.php is some other php file that has commands or whatever you need.

This search (http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&q=php+includes) returns as its second entry PHP Include Tutorial (http://www.php-include.com/) which should answer your questions. The first entry in the search results is the official PHP manual page (http://us4.php.net/include/) on includes.

Search engines are wonderful things, eh?

Thanks to you both.

Yes search engines are great, but when you dont know what you're looking for (sometimes as simple as it is!).....

Anyways, I appreciate the help and thank you both again!
