php includes navigate parent html DOM

I have just redesigned my website and have just realised I may need to re do over 100 pages.

think of a directory listing site, all my navigation and wrappers etc are in includes, each of the city pages…NY.php, LA.php, etc just has the html for that city.

On each page I now need to load a text file, the text file will be called the same as the parent html div, eg in this example there would be a file Manhattan.txt and Queens.txt (the txt file will always have the same name as the container id)

[CODE]
<section class=”av_tab_section” itemscope=”itemscope” itemtype=”http://schema.org/CreativeWork” >
<div data-fake-id=”#Manhattan” class=”tab ” itemprop=”headline” >Manhattan</div>
<div id=”Manhattan-container” class=”tab_content “>
<div class=”tab_inner_content invers-color” itemprop=”text” >
<?php include(‘http://localhost/static/_includes/load_local_city_file.php’); ?>
</div>
…..
<div data-fake-id=”#Queens” class=”tab ” itemprop=”headline” >Queens</div>
<div id=”Queens-container” class=”tab_content “>
<div class=”tab_inner_content invers-color” itemprop=”text” >
<?php include(‘http://localhost/static/_includes/load_local_city_file.php’); ?>
</div>
[/CODE]

is it possible for php to navigate to parentNode.parentNode.nodeName ? and determine that it is inside the Manhattan-container & subsequently load the Manhattan file? and then further down the page it would determine it needs to load the Queens content.

or is my only option to add a javascript footer that looks for all “*-container” div’s, and for each look for a local file & then to an innerHTML update.
The content for the NY.manhattan would appear inside the manhattan container, queens inside the queens etc.

basically what I am trying to do is write a single “?php include(‘load_local_file’) ” and use it on all of the .php files, instead of a different include on each page (“?php include(‘load_manhattan_file’)…include(‘load_queens_file’)….include(‘load_la_file’)….etc )

I hope that make sense.

thanks
