Basic PHP Question - Way Of Putting Menu In PHP To Save Changing Every Page?

Hi there,

I don't actually know how to use PHP but i'm wondering if theres any kind of way of doing the following...

I have a website which has lots of html pages. I have a menu which sometimes gets updated, and was wondering if there is a way of changing the menu on just one file, and having all the other html pages automatically update to the new menu?


Thanks for any help

 

yes.

just put the menu on a page and link to it with PHP's include function

 

Have a look at this page for some code;

Thanks but I don't need it to show "active" tabs or anything, I just need the same menu displayed on every page.

Sorry I would edit the php myself if I knew how to - do I simply need to delete some sections of text?


Thanks

 

Make sure the extension of your page is .php (e.g. index.php)

Then all you need is;

<!-- HTML Goes anywhere outside the PHP tags -->

<?php

include '/includes/navigation.php';

?>
