How Do I Render Only Select Divs From One Included File With A Unique Id On Multiple Pages?

[wait]

I'm sure this is fairly simple...

 

Let’s say I have hundreds of pages, each require a short description per page. I also have one individual file with every short description on it. All the descriptions within this one file are each separated by DIVs that carry a unique ID.

 

I would like to reference that unique ID on the “hundreds of pages” rather than copy and paste content on each page.

 

So, one includes file is referenced per page calling the unique ID a specific DIV.

 

Thanks in advance!

I suppose you could treat it like a flat file DB and do searches for the data.

Forgive my ignorance but I was hoping for a code example. Could I do a simple if, else... statement? If ID of Page = X then display DIV containing ID equaling X.

Read up on how to use DOMDocument

http://php.net/manual/en/class.domdocument.php

 

inside that class is a function called, getElementById
