Include an HTML file in PHP

    My PHP coding is a little scratchy, so I apologize for the what might seem easy answer.

    I want a PHP page to pull the information from an HTML file (or PHP file that can show HTML).

    The file will hold advertising information and I'd like to call it different times in my PHP pages. If I were to change my advertising I would like to change it in one location, rather than many.

    All help is appreciated.

    Thanks!

    I don't think its appropriate to use include for an HTML file...

    many reasons:
    INJECTIONS!
    ...need more? have you site hacked once, you learn quick.

    Use:

    read()

    or file_get_contents.

    Note: this is only good if you're including ONLY html/txt/non-php

    Either way, try that instead.
