Including Files With PHP

[sk1tL1L]

Very Simple, but some people do not know how to do it.
Ok if i had header.php and footer.php. Insted of Puting "Third Floor programming" on the top of everypage and "Copyright" On the bottem. I Can Type into a php document:

<?php include 'header.php'; ?>

So on Index.php it will show the header. You can do it on everypage. And you only have to change the one file to change the header of ALL the pages you but the code on. Eg.

<?php include 'header.php'; ?>
<b>Welcome</b> To my site!.
<?php include 'footer.php'; ?>

Simple?
I Think So

except using imagem - to include images in some place your fule use the script for image and after include this file in your principal file.php

INCLUDE ("fileimage.txt").

Right? Daniel

for those reading this tutorial, you can include different types of file, ie, .txt or .html if you prefer The includes don't have to be .php, only the file you are including them to.

Just in case someone wasn't sure about that.

Heres my dilema. My site (www.dead2world.com) has a flash header with a forums tab. So when user click on it they get a phpbb board with my website skin. What i wanted to know is if i can make my flash header appear on my forums instead of the static html one.

In most cases, include is all you need, but I was writing a very complex web app for a job and the require_once command is very useful in some situations. It is implemented the same way. It is useful if you have a header file that you need for a ton of different php files because it only includes the header once.
It's also useful for hack jobs that haven't been well organized :-\

I do require() instead of include().
I remember Idid it because include() didn't xant to work on the 1st server.
I dunno if it works now, but I won't be going to change all my pages from require() to include()

Is this a problem or it's okay?
