I'm working on a project that may have to change the same content on all html pages. So I figured I would create a php file and only have to change that so it changes on all pages over the web.
The files are saved as:
index.html
number.php
EXAMPLE:
------------------------(HTML FILE)----------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>Home</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Phone Number</h1>
<?php include('number.php') ?>
</body>
</html>
------------------------(PHP FILE)----------------------------
<?php
echo 4895553268;
?>
What could I do without changing the file extension of all my html's into php. I've found that works but I would like to only change the code in the html page. I've tried include require tags and that didn't work so I tried script tags and can't seem to make it work right.
The include (or require ) statement takes all the text/code/markup that exists in the specified file and copies it into the file that uses the include statement. Including files is very useful when you want to include the same PHP, HTML, or text on multiple pages of a website.
We can insert any PHP file into the HTML code by using two keywords that are 'Include' and 'Require'. PHP include() function: This function is used to copy all the contents of a file called within the function, text wise into a file from which it is called. This happens before the server executes the code.
As you can see, you can use any HTML you want without doing anything special or extra in your PHP file, as long as it's outside and separate from the PHP tags. In other words, if you want to insert PHP code into an HTML file, just write the PHP anywhere you want (so long as they're inside the PHP tags).
If the file is included twice, PHP will raise a fatal error because the functions were already declared. It is recommended to use include_once instead of checking if the file was already included and conditionally return inside the included file.
In order to get the PHP output into the HTML file you need to either
