I have a navigational bar, an image, and a heading that I'll be including in every page of my website, so I wanted to use php include to refer to this code in several pages. However, I think I may have the syntax wrong or something because it's not rendering anything when I load it. Here are some code snippets:
<!-- sample page --> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<?php include ('headings.php'); ?>
</head>
<body>
<?php include ('navbar.php'); ?>
<?php include ('image.php'); ?>
</body>
</html>
navbar.php
<?php
echo '<ul id="nav">
<li>
<a href="Home.html">Home</a>
</li>
<li>
<a>About Me</a>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="Career.html">Career</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="Coding.html">Coding</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="Personal.html">Personal</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<a href="Travels.html">Travel</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="Contact.html">Contact</a>
</li>
</ul>';
?>
Thanks for helping!
You can use
php
code in files with extension.php
and only there (iff other is not defined in your server settings).Just rename your file
*.html
to*.php
If you want to allow
php
code processing in files of different format, you have two options to do that:1) Modifying
httpd.conf
to allow this for all projects on your server, by adding:2) Creating
.htaccess
file in your separate project top directory with:For second option you need to allow use of
.htaccess
files in yourhttpd.conf
, by adding the following settings:*that is correct for Apache HTTP Server
