Are php Includes considered current for website use Still?

[mopek1]

If I build a php website and use code like this:

<?php include 'includes/navbar.php';?>

... so that when I want to make a change in the navbar across thousands of pages, the entire site is updated by changing one file only in the /includes folder.

Is that current or is everyone onto a different version of php, or different code etc...?

If I build a new site I want it to be able to adapt to any future change without having to individually change each page (or worse, rebuild the site) which would take forever.

Thanks.

That will work just fine.

If you're building for long-term durability, try looking into PHP frameworks like Symfony/Laravel. It's a bit of a learning curve, but at least you'll have a solid foundation for your code when it comes time to update it.

I still wish for Windows XP to be current. Simple with everything I needed.

i just stopped using Win7 last year

one note about includes. if they are called cross-domain, name them .inc not .php. otherwise the script will try to process it instead of include it.

Yes, and doing it this way makes it really easy to keep all of the pages of your site consistent. I use includes for the nav bar / menus, footers, and most of the header. It saves a ton of time too.

I would pay good money for winxp version which would be exactly same but with updated driver database.
