How To: Make A Simple Php Site - Making one file show up on all pages using php
Albus Dumbledore
Feb 16 2006, 02:10 AM
I have looked all over the site and could not find anything that was like this simple, or just like this at all..
For some people i know that you are using a basic HTML site...and having a big menu if you want to add somthing you have to go into every one of the pages and add or remove or edit what you want to do, but with somthing verry simple all you would have to do is edit one file, and all of the pages that have the PHP script on them would suddenly change to what that one file is.
So to start off if you are planning on using this little tirck, the page that you are putting the code on must be a .php page, so instead of 'index.html' it would be 'index.php' this changes none of the aspects of the page except for the fact that you can put php scripts in the page now, if you are unsure how to do this simply open the file in the editing program you use and when it asks what you want the name to be put 'THENAME.php" and it will be saved as a .php file..
now to the script...wherever you want the content of that one file to show, you will need to put this code
CODE
<?php include("FILE NAME.html"); ?>
you simply need to replace the FILE NAME with the name of the file in which you want to show. and if it is in a different directory put DIRECTORY/FIILE NAME instead...simple eh..
but now, for the file that you want to put on the pages...all you need to do is make a normal html file or any other file that you have that you want to include with the content, so if you want it to be a menu for example...
that could be saved as menu.html and you would just have to change FILE NAME to 'menu' and it should show up! just be sure that the file extention is .html *edit* edited it per Tyssen's post, now it DOES NOT have to be a .html file, i have tested it out and it works so that way you dont need to use .html, you can also use any other ones such as .php....who woulda guessed lol..thanx tyssen
well that is about it! my thanx to Phillip, aka webmaster_2006 for clearning up the matter of the page HAVING to be .php, for me!
*edit* edited it per Tyssen's post of clearing it up, thanx! it did mix it up a little>_<
thanx, Tyssen, i retyped a few things and hopefully it is clear now,
@ apollo, im sure that people who are making sites and dont use somthing like this and are just now finding out about somthing like this think differently, if you had 30 pages on your site all with a menu and you wanted to add one bloody page...would you want to go through and change all 30?
it may be a small thing compared to what else they may be able to do but i am sure some of the noobs find it allot more usefull than going through all of their files and changing it like i said above.
that can be done in html only..i dont see how that is php except that ure changing the index.php file thing..
You can't do PHP includes with HTML. By the way Albus, your file doesn't have to have an .html extension, it can be whatever you want - .php, .asp, .txt, .inc. The page that calls the include, rather than the include separately is what gets parsed, so it doesn't matter what format the include is in.
that can be done in html only..i dont see how that is php except that ure changing the index.php file thing..
well my friend calls it php, and call it php so i just called it php, we called it php because of the
CODE
<?[b]php[/b] include("FILE NAME.html"); ?>
php in the code needed to make it work.
@Tyssen, ok thanx, i believe you but i think i am going to also test that out before i edit the post because the person who taught me said it has to be a .html, if it works that way i will change it and if it does i will tell the person who told me, lmao..also if it is true thanx for advancing my knowledge in php :-D
i tryed to make my own php site, but it was too dificult, so i made it in html and take php forum, from phpbb.com. it is very nice forum, but i saw it almost everiwhere.
hmmn. I have seen a similar tutorial, somewhere in google. you sure, this is yours?

Think that we have written a program, and some codes are wrong. We can go back to compiler and
change the code, and compile again. But I will show you how to correct our mistakes without using
the compiler. Let's start: I have written a program in Delphi. Let's see my mistake. I
have created a form like this. After this I wrote the codes in the Compare Button click as
below. CODE 1. procedure TForm1.ComparebuttonClick(Sender: TObject); 2. var
3. a,b:integer; 4. begin 5. a := StrToInt(EditA.Text); 6. b :....
Hello. I am BuBBaG. You can call me Bubba for short. I'm going to show you how to make an
Ultimate Game List. First off, we need to make a database, we are going to call this database
`my_db`, leave out the `'s. Inside that database we will need to create a table
called `ugl'(Ultimate Game List, duh). To make the table, simply enter this in the Syntax.
CODE CREATE TABLE ugl ( System char(50), Game char(50), ) In the
above code, it is stating we are creating a table called ugl, with two columns, System, and Gam....
JavaScript is very handy at making forms, allowing for much more customization and easier ways to
send data. So making Login forms using JavaScript may seem to many to be a very feasable idea.
However, JavaScript is very bad at protecting Passwords, as since the passwords are not encypted and
the whole JavaScript code is in the page, a person could just view the Page Source and find out
everything. Even if you use an external JavaScript, it would still be poor as the file name for the
external JavaScript would still be revealed. But I have an answer! There is a rela....
The quickest way to get a password protection system up and running is to use a Prompt box in
JavaScript that has a title like "Enter your Email Address". Only you and the relevant users know
what the password should be, could even be one each, that can be sorted out at the next page then
pass the "input" directly through the url by changing the .href, like
http://www.iSource.net.nz/users/?leTmeIn= The page that then processes this should also check for
the referring page, and three fails from an IP if you like the php (the next page): CODE
<?php // processdo....

Recently, I had a need to make a FTP client, since our webhosting FTP server was kind of exotic, and
very restrictive, and most of uploads, even though they reach 100% would crash... File would be
uploaded to a server, but FTP clients just froze upon completion, waiting for the 226 (OK) from FTP
server... So, I had to make my own, one who would not wait for 226, but instead, watch the file

I've been working on my Resume for months now. Here is a summary of what I've learned: 1.
Avoid referring to yourself via 1st person or 3rd person terms. Rather than saying "I started this
job in" just say "Began job in"... Employers expect Resumes to be professional and avoid reference
to oneself; and instead speaking in an impersonal tone that presents
achievements/skills/experience/education without personalization. Avoid words like "I", "my", "he",
"she", etc. Leave out personal pronouns and only use the action words/verbs. This also includes
your Ob....

has information and the second and has the actual example of its use with sample CSS code. I find
that when you visit a site which has a slow server and attempt to view 'large' Image files,
it is pretty boring to sit and stare at a blank screen, so this little snippet of code can be used
to give the visitor something to see to indicate that the image is being downloaded. I built a
small animated gif that sits in the background of the space allocated for the image....

Over the course of the summer I have tried hard to install a shoutbox into a new forum I was
developing. I went to the Invisionalize forums and found several mods for shoutboxes, but none of
them seemed to work. I first tried to install the D-Shoutbox, but upon this first try, I was
unsuccessful. Eventually, after much frustration, and trying other mods, which didn't seem to
stack up to Dean's features, I was determined to make it work. For some, editing your files (to
the newbie that is) can be difficult, with everything looking like a foreign language (basi....
