PHP Question Here - GoFuckYourself.com

Keep in mind I'm a semi-talented, but mostly-confused beginner when it comes to PHP. Also I do NOT actually program, but I can tweek and change or add a line or two nowadays.

With that background in mind, I found a PHP script. I want to use it and have it match the rest of my site. There are already other PHP scripts on the site. One of them is a header.php file that contains the style, logo and graphical site navigation.

I look into THIS script and everything is done line-by-line with echoes. (Which means it would take me forever and I would screw it up with all those quotes and semis and such.)

Can I just somehow insert the entire header.php file from the other script located in another directory which already exists and somehow just call it into this script? If so what would the syntax I would need to use?

Appreciate the assistance.

just include it.

<?php

include 'header.php';

?>

the header.php will just be html code probably, a real simple mod.

Triple as said, it was a ton of HTML for logo and nav, not one function. (Again, I'm new to messing and tweeking, and still can't code a damn, just a little modifying here and there.)

Ok, I'll give that a try, Fusion. That's exactly what I was wondering if could be done (and how to do it.) Thanks!
