Html include

Hello,


I have an html page and want to include and html menu that I use on
all pages. What is the best way to do this? A php include command?

That is what I do.

include "/common/menu.php";

Mine is a php script because it does processing based on what page(s)
called it. If yours is a static menu, it can be pure HTML.

In case John doesn't know...

include "/common/menu.php";
?>

Re: Html include

I think you are getting it wrong... if you want to include it onto a
HTML page then you will have to do it manually ... Include will not
work on HTML pages.. Alternatively you can use frames or IFrames

Hmm, OK you are right!
A php file will parse html though and can include perhaps any extension
on a ascii file, so:

INDEX.PHP:

... blah
... blah
include "menu.txt";
include "body.txt";
?>



Probably someone will have another solution.

You think /who/ are getting it wrong? You must be new here. Normally,
we quote the relevant part of the post we are replying to, as I am doing
here. Oh, you don't think this is *Google* do you?

There's another way?

Yes, you /are/ new here. Google for "frames are evil"

No thanks. Not if that is your best work.

Ever hear of a little thing called SSI?

Both bad choices.

Ha, you reckon that's bad, I know of a bloke, well I presume it's a
bloke who keeps telling us (people who are new-ish to CSS to back to
HTML 3.2 as he / she / it thiks it (3.2) gives you more control then
what you get with CSS. But I thaught at the time it was the most
rediculous thing I had read. Oh and I stil do think that way about
HTML 3.2, I mean how can people still pay $50 per hour for old code
that will not work (as well) or at all on modern web browsers.
