Using and understanding the #include

[apw]

Hello my question is about using #include statement.  I wrote a php/sql internet based search engine. The main search is located in x.php and my  main portion of my website is located in the trusty index.php now without copy and pasting the contents of x.php could i instead cal l the contents of x .php using an #include x.php?  And the contents of x.php show where i have the #include for x.php?

Yes, it's as simple as;

 

include_once('x.php');

 

Using include once will insure that you cannot include the page twice. If x.php is in a directory, for example search it would be as follows;

 

include_once('search/x.php');
