One page into another?

[Cassavus]

ok, does anyone know how to pull one page into another? say i have index.php and i want to pull nav.htm into the index page. how do i do that? would that involve SSI? because when i do it now, it messes up the layout of the page. heck, if you all don't know, no worries. i have a backup idea.

Try something like this. You can put that code in the area you would like the page to included

<?php include('pagename.php'); ?>

I think you'll need to change the extension of the page you want to include to .php otherwise it may not work

yea i think so too. because i tried earlier with a .htm extension and it just gave an error. but how do i make a page that is otherwise just regular xhtml, php? isn't there something i need to do to at least the beginning of the code that tells that it is going to be php?

It should work as long as the extension of your pages are .php

I designed my site as html and changed the extensions to .php

For the navigation of my site I use the code

<?php include(navigation.txt); ?>

It's pulls the navigation.txt file which (obviously) has the links for my site. Handy because it allows you to add, change and remove links sitewide with a simple edit of the .txt file

Maybe it won't work lol. But it's worth a shot :)

I see what you're saying PB. I'll work with it later today. Thanks man! Yea, I did txt files on one of my old sites. But if I remember correctly I used a SSI code to pull them.

It's the [code] tags. I've seen it happen here a few times. Dunno why, the code boxes are small :shrug:
