[PHP] Put code in a seperate file

Ephracis · 10-09-2007, 12:44 PM

I have a page with a div-tag.
[html]
<html>
<head>
<title>My Page</title>
</head>

<body>
The cow says:
<div id="mydiv"></div>
</body>
</html>
[/html]

I want to put some Javascript or PHP code inside there to put the content of the following file into the div called "mydiv":

PHP Code:



<b> 
<? 
echo "Moo"; 
?> 
</b>

Can't you use

PHP Code:



include('path/to/file.php');

?

How will that put the content of path/to/file.php inside that div?

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>My Page</title>
</head>

<body>
The cow says:
<div id="mydiv"><?php include('somefile.php'); ?></div>
</body>
</html>

Something like that? Not checked for correct syntax and it's a while ago that I touched php from scratch.

Cool, I have only been using include in the header before. Anyway it worked perfectly. I was able to put only HTML-code inside the php-file and use PHP to include it.

But I wish there was a way to use Javascript to change the content to be read from another file containing HTML/PHP.

If you haven't done that already, take a look at "AJAX" . It may suit your needs. Cheers

I have done that but it is too complex. All tutorials and other stuff I find on the net contains of frameworks and a vast number of documents I need to read. I just do not know where to start. :/

Start here then. The first thing you see will help you understand why I double-quoted "AJAX". Cheers
