Include Pages and PHP

[sales]

I have used Include pages for a menu bar within a webpage - See below.

<!--webbot bot="Include" U-Include="menu-categories.htm" TAG="BODY" --

(Created by Frontpage)

It works fine when the page is htm format, but when I use the page in
php format, all the menus that are an Included link do not show.

Any ideas???

Thanks

Alec

It's tough to say since you haven't included any code. Post it here
and we'll take a look.

Why in the world would you think a server would pre-process a page twice?
Use PHP to do the include --- do not expect the server to parse the page
again. You have not supplied enough details to make it possible to say
exactly how this goes wrong in your particular configuration, but your
theory is fundamently flawed and will go wrong, albeit in perhaps slightly
different ways, in any configuration.

First mistake.

It works fine when the page is htm format, but when I use the page in
php format, all the menus that are an Included link do not show.

Expecting FrontPage to understand PHP - second mistake.

Any ideas???

Thanks

1. Learn basic HTML and get rid of your garbage generator.
2. Use PHP includes to include the files.

FrontPage include statements are in .htm(l) files and processed by the
FrontPage extensions. PHP statements are in .php files and are
processed by the PHP interpreter.

Ne'er the twain shall meet.

As a short-term fix, replace this:

<!--webbot bot="Include" U-Include="menu-categories.htm" TAG="BODY" --

>

with this:

<?php readfile('menu-categories.htm'); ?>

As a long-term strategy, do not use Frontpage past HTML template
development; once you have a HTML / CSS / JavaScript template,
continue to develop with something better suited for PHP.
