 OK I'm designing a website and I've done it all through html and css, but I recently found out about the include function for php.

So I want to use it as there are going to be alot of pages on my sie and I don't fancy manually updating them each time I ad an affiliate or something new to the navigation etc.

So I took the navigation out the page I've done (just the template really no content) and saved it in another file as navigation.html and saved it in a folder called content.

So the link I used to it was:

Quote:
 
<?php
include("content/navigation.html");
?>


and it doesn't work, the navigation is just revoved :(

Sothen I tried saving it as navigation.php and linking in the same way to that and it still doesn't work. I've got apache, php and mysql set up and running on the computer using WAMP whih automatically configures them.

Can anyone shed some light on why this isn't working for me?

 You have to save the files as .php
(So also the file that you put the include in)

Try changing it to require() (works the same way)
It will give you an error if something is wrong.

Post the error here, might be usefull.

 The require doesn't work and I've saved both files as .php

WAMP is saying that all services are running, I don't get it because I don't get ay error message at all...

 Ok, do other php functions work??
(Just try something like <? echo 'php works'; ?> to check it if you are not sure)

 Nothing, I suppose there's somehing wrong with WAMP.

Do you know any free webhosts you can use php on and can you recomend a free easy to use ftp program. That way I could upload and test the code.

 For testing stuff on your local pc, you could also use phpdev.
I love it :)
(exept it won't run MySQL for me, but thats because I messed it up somehow)
