rustypaulin · 19-08-2005, 13:25

I've put this tag in my site <? include("links.html") ?> and i have a file links.html with the links for the navigation bar but when i go to the index.html page i can't see the links. Is there something wrong with the php?

<? include('links.html' ; ) ?>

Everyone has it wrong here.

Change

Code:

<? include("links.html") ?>

to

Code:

<?php include("links.html") ?>

It should work because only some servers are designed for <? ?>, but most use <?php ?>.

no that's not working either, do i need php elsewhere in the code for that to work? as the rest of the page has been coded with HTML

You are calling the page something.php aren't you ? If not, then you need to modify your web server to pass the extension you're using through PHP (not usually a goot idea for performance reasons)
