I wonder how can I insert an html document into another one using php. E.g.:
header.html
<div id="header">Hey this is header</div>
index.php
<body>
<? get_document('header.html'); ?>
...
I could use ajax for that but I dont want my web site to depend on js. Thank you!
You can use include() to include one document in another:
<body>
<?php include('header.html'); ?>
...
If you want execution to fail if the file is not present, use require():
<body>
<?php require('header.html'); ?>
...
Be aware that short-open tags (<?) do not work on all servers and are disabled by default in new version of PHP. For this reason, it is best to use the full-open tag: <?php
<html>
...
<body>
<?php
include("header.html");
?>
</body>
</html>
Or if you want to store it in variable and use later as you wish
ob_start();
include("header.html");
$content = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
echo $content;
You can just use include/require. That can be done on any file, not just PHP files.
You could also do echo file_get_contents('header.html'); but include makes more sense in this case.
