RE: [PHP] FW: Cookies, Dammit!

The problem is that the main page doesn't use an include file of any sort; it's straight HTML which is frequently updated by hand. I agree that it would be nice if /index.htm had an include file that contained most of the content, and if I could convince my boss that it would be the best way to go, then I'd be set. :) Unfortunately, that's not the route that we've chosen to go (in fact, I'm still at the stage where I'm trying to convince people around here that PHP is a much better way to go than straight HTML for some of these documents). So, if I were using an include file to build /index.htm, then I would use it in microsite45/index.htm. But since I'm not, I can't. I've got permission to use document.write in /index.htm, so I was looking for a solution which would allow /index.htm to remain nothhing but static HTML (with the exception of some JavaScript). -----Original Message----- From: Jason Brooke [mailto:jason@qgl.org] Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2001 3:37 PM To: Richard S.

I hope you don't mind me nagging on this ;) but what do you mean by having to echo changes into the /minisite directories? What I meant was, from minisite45/index.htm, include() the same content include file you use in /index.htm. I'm not seeing why the /minisite<x>/index.htm pages need to change at all? The only thing that would change is the content of the include()'d file that /index.htm, and the minisite/index<x>.htm include. /index.htm <html> <etc etc> <body...> <? include "main_include.inc"; ?> </body> </html> main_include.inc: <some possible html tags> <? echo "Welcome". ($minisite ? " from $minisite" : "."); ?> <some possible html tags> /minisite45/index.htm <html stuff> <? $minisite = 45; /* or even a snip that dynamically gets it from the script_name */ include "main_include.inc"; ?> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard S.
