RE: [PHP] Adding includes to files

Output buffering isn't going to help, the files, when completed need to look like: <! HTML CODE> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Categories of Items</TITLE> <BODY> <?php include("nav/top_nav.html"); ?> <?php include("nav/side_nav.html"); ?> Html content <?php include("nav/bottom_nav.html"); ?> <! END HTML CODE> If all I was trying to do was pull in the files I could do that without a problem, but what I need to do is generate the whole page with the information. I attached the php file that does the site generation and maybe it will shed some light on what I am trying to do as well. TIA!! Robert -----Original Message----- From: John W.
