linking single menu bar to multiple pages?

[UrbanDweller]

Hey Im always trying to remove code and cut corners to reduce work in the long run, soIim wondering how I could link my menu bar from say a template to ALL my php pages for my site so I don't have to write/change links on every page when I need to.

 

Thanks

You need to look into using includes.  I use a file called header.inc.  This contains my menu.  All my other pages have include header.inc

Are you able to give me an example? do you carry the css in the header too for the menu?

Ok i found info on include thanks

 

Put this on the menubar.html

<!--#include virtual="path to file/include-file.html" -->

 

 

add this code to every page you want menu bar on

<?php
require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "path to file/include-file.html");
?>

 

Just wont let me work from folder to folder, any method?

Try using links for the include (and the navigation) based on the document root

 

require_once('/header.php');

 

instead of

 

require_once('../../header.php'); // and so on

 

that should work just fine
