Hi,

I want to include a certain html page or just a piece of html text that is
written in any other file in my html page. How can i do it?

All my html pages have a common header or menu so I want to know how to
include a html text that defines this header or menu in all my html
documents. When I want to update header or menu, i just need to update one
file only.

Thanks for answering

Gregor

SSI:
<!--#include filename.html -->

PHP:
<?include("filename.html");?>

ASP:
Uses SSI Syntax

JSP:
Not sure of syntax. It is probably possible, though.

ColdFusion:
Not sure. Can probably use SSI syntax, though.

etc....

<cfinclude template="filename.html">

Short open tags are unreliable, so it should be

<?php ... ?>

And JFTR: 'include' doesn't require parentheses, it's no function.

More precisely, short tags are turned off on some installs of PHP, not least
because they need working around when an XML prolog is used. Its a
configuration option.

i thought he was referring to some prase error bug thingy.

which doesn't make them unreliable.

It does in the sense that if you distribute the script you can't know if it
will work in the target environment.

<http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.php#language.basic-syntax.phpmode>

"The first way, <?php. . .?>, is the preferred method, as it allows the
use of PHP in XML-conformant code such as XHTML.

The second way is not available always. Short tags are available only
when they have been enabled. This can be done via the short_tags()
function (PHP 3 only), by enabling the short_open_tag configuration
setting in the PHP config file, or by compiling PHP with the
--enable-short-tags option to configure. Even if it is enabled by
default in php.ini-dist, use of short tags are discouraged."
