How Do I Write Includes?

[amansker]

How do I set up includes on server 47? Just need to add header/footer HTML file includes and not sure how to do it.

[MikeJ]

There are various ways to do that...

 

PHP (requires .php extension, and path is relative to location of page on the file system):

<?php

include("includedir/header.html");

?>

 

Server Side Includes (require .shtml extension)

Virtual (path a browser uses to access file):

<!--#include virtual="/includedir/header.html"-->

 

Those are just a couple ways.

 

You can do a google search for php include or server side includes for more detail info. Or ask here.

 

Hope that helps.

Yes, that helps. I did search and read some info, but it wasn't so clear exactly what to do here (probably my ignorance).

thanks!

Another option is to leave your files named .htm or .html and add the following lines to your .htaccess file which tells the server to check for PHP code even if the file does not end in .php

 

AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
