Navigation...

I know this is possible cause my friend used it on his site. But when he explained it I got confused.

I want to keep the navigation on each page the same. He said he used php_include codes, but I am not sure how to do this. I want it so when I update the navigation, it gets updated for each page w/o having me to go manually into each page and adding each link.

Jako, here's what you do.

Open up your page's HTML source and CUT (not copy) the navigation for your site. Paste it into a file. Then, just replace the code you just cut out with:



Where filename is the path to the new file you just created.

Hope this helps!

Make sure that the filename has the extentsion .php, not .html, and that your server supports php. You won't be able to test this on your machine unless you set up an apache server or something.

Ah, yes MasterSlowPoke.

Thanks for mentioning that. I forgot that not everyone here knows PHP :blush:

BTW: You can name the file .php or .inc -- either one will work. Usually, it is a good practice to name your files .inc for external files that are being included.

By included, I mean:
