Re: Can you recommend a good PHP includes tutorial?

Wow, that is a lot simpler than I imagined. Thanks for the tip! Jay Blanchard wrote:

I searched several forums and www.php.net, but it's hard to even zero in on a good tutorial. [/snip] http://www.php.net/include There is no tutorial for this because it is painfully simple to use. Create toBeIncluded.php -- <?php $todayDate = date("m-d-Y"); ?> <h1>Today is <?php echo $todayDate; ?></h1> You're all done! Now create myIncluded.php -- <html> <head></head> <body> <h1>Welcome!</h1> <?php inlclude("toBeIncluded.php"); ?> </body> </html> All done! Now just place these files in the same directory in your web server and load myIncluded.php from the browser. You may have to pay close attention to the paths of the files, but it is pretty simple really. HTH!
