here's the real deal: http://us4.php.net/include/

and here's the quickie:

or

or

edit


can you use these on .shtml pages?

no, that is SSI.

also remember to go with the full path ie: *edit* as opposed to a url.

Yes, but not by default.

There are several ways to do that, but my fav is to make an .htaccess file in the directory where you want your .shtml pages with executable php. In that .htaccess put this:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .shtml

From then your .shtml will be treated as PHP also...

keep in mind if the page has a lot of traffic this will put a huge load on the server. it is much wiser to use .php or .phtml

Sure. It's just the way if you MUST run php in other then .php files.

also keep in mind it will disable SSI with .shtml

Use require() instead of include(). If the file to be included is not found require() dies whereas include() gives just an error message. Also with older versions of php (< 4 i think) require would always assume to include the file on compilation whereas include would be subject to runtime conditionals.

Good point... don't want them surfers knowing you fucked up.
