have index.php load another file?

[n9mfk]

Hi all,
im look for a easy to have index.php load another file
i have a file called test.php i know i could copy what in test.php into index.php i do not went to do that thanks for any idea

within index.php

Code: Select all

include('test.php');

You can also use 'require' which is the same as include, but stops executing if it can not load/find the extra file.

I usually always use

Code: Select all

require_once('test.php');

which is a little more advanced but does the same job -- it just does not re-include the file if it has been included elsewhere in the script.

your test.php file needs to include PHP tags too....

Code: Select all

<?php
..
..
?>

Beau, you might want to have a look at the W3Schools Online Web Tutorials, a great site with a lot of easy to understand information, tutorials, references, and examples...
