Ok, my site is getting bigger and there are more pages... before I just had a menu on each page and just had to add links to each page seprately, but that is becoming very tedious now. Is there (well I know there is) a way to create a single menu and just have it on every page, maybe an image or something. Make it in fireworks or something?

It will take some remodeling on your existing pages, but you can use Server Side Includes to "include" the menu part of each page. Then you only have to update menu.txt for example and all pages are updated. You can use an include statement in PHP as well.

If you look at my site you can see this in action. The footer, menu and head info are all "included" on each page.

OKay,

Create a page called menu.html

Make a menu inside that page. Then use a php include to include it into new pages you add. This way you will only have to edit menu.html and the menu on everypage will change.

Hope that helped you out.

Also, on the pages you use the php include on, save them as *****.PHP

I would try using some PHP includes. I used codegrrl.com's NL_Convert-to-PHP script and now I only have to change the header and footer on my pages for it to look different. It's a very fast and simple method.

i think there is a javascript code for this also....<script src="aaaa.js"></script> dont use that but there is something like it....search the internet for it

That code will just include a javascript not an extra page as such. However, the script could draw up the menu using "document.write ="

The HTML way of including would be with IFRAMES -

<IFRAME src="menu.html" width="x" height="x"></IFRAME>

Basically this just puts a frame in wherever the code is put. But i wouldn't recomend using this, PHP includes are the way to go...

<?PHP

include('menu.html');

?>

Well 5 years ago I would go with SSI but nowadays with PHP and how great it has become, I use PHP includes on all my pages. Combined with a bit of PHP scripting it makes managing website content a whole lot easier.

about how many php includes do you think is a good number? I could have like 15 includes but wont that slow the speed of the loading of the webpage? I was just wondering that is.

I've got five or six on my pages. I notice no speed difference.
