I've tried search the forums and the net but I can't seem to find a specific answer that my brain will understand :P

I just want one menu (mine is currently created with just CSS and XHTML) to show up on all webpages. So, if I were to change something on that menu, I won't have to go to each page and change it. Get what I'm saying?

I think it's to do with PHP, so that's why I'm posting here. Something to do with <include navigation.php> or something...?

Thanks in advance.

Hey, all you have to do, is create your xhtml and css navigation and save it as navigation or something. Then simply go ahead and put the code below into the place you wish for the navigation to be.

<?php include('navigation.php'); ?>

That simple, there ya go .

To do this, you will be using PHP.

The pages that have the file in will also have to be PHP files.

It's quite simple - create a file called menu.php or navigation.php or whatever, and then in each page that you want the navigation bar in, type:

PHP Code:

<?php include('navigation.php'); ?>

Of course, if your menu was stored in a PHP file called menu.php, you'd type include('menu.php') etc.

EDIT: the guy above must have posted seconds before me - he's basically written the same as me.

lol, yeah, even the same name of the file

Thanks for the reply guys, but I'm still having problems.

I've created a file called index.html and another called index.php for the sake of it. Also, another file called header.php. In that header.php file is just some text saying "Hello".

In both my index.html and index.php file, I've typed

PHP Code:

<?php include('header.php') ;?>

But it still doesn't work. I'm using Adobe Dreamweaver CS3, and instead of "Hello" showing up, a little PHP shield icon shows up. What gives?

PHP is a server side language therefore the output is generated by going through a web server. Upload to your web host or use xampp for development on you desktop.

Yeah, WYSIWYG editors will not display this kind of thing, like joder says because its a server side code.
