Navigation

I heard that you can use PHP to make navigation bars, without having to change each file every time that you add something to the navigation bar.

How do I do this, if it is possible?

@SheldonSep 23.2005 — make your navigation menu/bar just like normal, save it in its own file for this instance we will call is [b]nav.php[/b].

Then in each page place this code exactly where you want the navigation menu to be.

[code=php]
<?php
//include the navigation menu.
include('path/to/nav.php');
?>
[/code]

Make sur ethe path is correct or if it is in the same folder just have the name of the file there.


Let me know how that goes

@SheldonSep 23.2005 — Oh i forgot to say, all of your pages that will include the nav.php must now have the extension [b].php[/b] so you may have to change the links in your like to match, else there is a way in i think either your php.ini file or your httpd.conf file to pharse .html files as .php

@SheldonSep 23.2005 — remember no to write the
<i>
</i>&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;title&gt;&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;meta's&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
 in every page, just the page that for instance is your header file, that way you can edit it once and include that in each page too.
