php include

Hi,

i've just started on php. i want to split my site up into include files so that i can have seperate html files with my menu etc in and then include them in the php page. the code i've been using is below - when i do this i get the desired effect except there server puts a '1' in the webpage under the included part. Any ideas?

My code:

from my php file...

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<div id="menu">
 
<?= file "menu.html" ?>
 
</div> <!--End of menu-->
 
my include file:
 
  <ul>

        <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>

    <li><a href="contact.html">Contact Us</a></li>

    <li><a href="radlok.html">Radlok Cart Retention</a></li>

    <li><a href="sos.html">SOS Product Security Alarm</a></li>

    <li><a href="eatmecrunchy.html">Eatmecrunchy Cereal Bowl </a></li>

    <li><a href="paving.html">Paving with a Message</a></li>

    <li><a href="timing.html">Timing<br />Old Inventions</a></li>

    <li><a href="bio.html">Gray Matter Biography</a></li>

  </ul>

Or you could try

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<?php include("folder/file.ext"); ?>

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

Note: thefile that has this second option in must be *.shtml so that the server knows to get the include fle or it can be *.php I believe.

I know of an easier way that would help you in the long run.
Divide your code with a | in the places you would make each page with.
Then set it as a variable in your file, using explode each section is split apart from each other setting each as it's own ID the first portion would be $filearray[0] , 2nd, $filearray[1] etc...

[php]
<?php
$file = '<html>| Random Text | pie | </html>';
$filearray = explode('|' , $file);
echo filearray[2];
?>
[/php]

That would make it easier right? :)

?>
[/php]

Tyler,

I'm intrigued by this approach to including external files. Are you outlining an alternative to the use of the PHP include() function?

I'm not sure I see the benefit of this approach over INCLUDE or even the SSI (<!--#include...)? What advantage does this methodology offer?
