Sorry if this is in the wrong place...

Anyway! You know the &include thing that you can use with php to pull an external file?

Well I want to do that on a website I'm making. But not with PHP. Instead of editing every page I would like to include a HTML or XML file from an external source. Anything that will support standard HTML information (just a table with writing and images in it.)

So you have the page, and in a seperate block if you will, you pull HTML information from another file.

Pretty simple but I'm only decent with the basics. And I haven't tried this before.

Thanks.

Don't think HTML all by itself has anything like that.

Well since I can't read your mind and show you what you want me to do with that code I'll give you some info that I'll think will help you.

You can create a HTML and convert it to PHP VERY easily. Say you have an index.html file and you want to call that code in the boxes you posted above into that file. Lets call the first code snippet table.html and the second code image.html.

Basically what you're going to be doing is converting your HTML page into a PHP page.

This is a sample file of how you would do this:

Code Select

<html>
<head>
<title>Your site.com</title>
</head>
<body>
All your content on the page goes in here.
Now lets include your files via php.
<?php
include('table.html');
?>
More HTML can go outside of these php tags.
Now lets add the other file
<?php 
include('image.html');
?>
</body>
</html>


Now that you've added PHP to your HTML file the only thing you have to do is rename index.html to index.php since it has php in it. :)

Damn... Looking it over, it won't work, it shows in Dreamweaver but is ignored in browsers.

Turns out it was SSI too by the way.
I used
Code Select
<!--#include file="latestnews.html" -->

I tried what you said ItchBin and it works great.
Thanks alot.

Sorry for the double post.
How strange. It works when its uploaded but not from HD.

Does it work for you? http://www.ravenmod.com/newsite/index.php
