PHP includes

PHP includes is a way to help site management easier. I personally like using PHP includes. It can be used for your layout, sidabar, header, footer, etc. Heres how you do it:

For site layout

1 - Open up notepad
2 - Type in your layout's CSS/HTML
3 - Save it as style.php
4 - Upload it to your site.
5 - Open up any page where you would like to use the layout such as your index
6 - Type in the code below:

< ?php include("style.php"); ? >

(Take out the spaces thats before and after the < >)

7 - Save that page and open it up on your browser

For the Sidebar

1 - Open up notepad
2 - Type in your site's sidebar code.
3 - Save it as sidebar.php
4 - Upload it to your site.
5 - Open up any page where you would like to use the sidebar such as your index
6 - Type in the code below:

< ?php include("sidebar.php"); ? >

(Take out the spaces thats before and after the < >)

7 - Save that page and open it up on your browser
