PHP include

[TheRambo]

I know files can be includued with php, server side language. So what code would i use if i wanted to make the one layout and get php to call for example into the content part, an html file so it display that info?

thanks for the link but i already knew you would use <? include("filename.php") ?> etc. But what im looking for is to get the include to change a content part on the single web page when a hyperlink is hit. E.g im on the news page so there fore the news is shown then i hit say 'team' section it will load the team section in the mian content part.

Ah,for that you will need JavaScript. You will either need to use AJAX to dynamically query the server, or load all the includes at once and simply use a normal show/hide layer system to show the right one when a link is clicked.

Google searches yield plenty of info on the former and many example scripts of the latter.

Or you could do it in php using case statements... look at this code!

Links
<ul>
<li><a href="facts.php?load=x&thc=hemp">Hemp</a></li>
<li><a href="facts.php?load=x&thc=legal">Legal</a></li>
<li><a href="facts.php?load=x&thc=health">Health Risks</a></li>
<li><a href="facts.php?load=x&thc=tobacco">Tobacco Vs. Cannabis</a></li>
<li><a href="facts.php?load=x&thc=qoute">Qoutes</a></li>
</ul>

Include Area
<?php

$page_choice = $_GET['thc'];
switch($page_choice) {
case "hemp": include ("http://www.totallyhigh.com/v4/facts/hemp.php"); break;
case "legal": include ("http://www.totallyhigh.com/v4/facts/legal.php"); break;
case "qoute": include ("http://www.totallyhigh.com/v4/facts/qoutes.php"); break;
case "health": include ("http://www.totallyhigh.com/v4/facts/health.php"); break;
case "tobacco": include ("http://www.totallyhigh.com/v4/facts/tobacco.php"); break;
default: echo "<b>Please select a category!</b>
";
}

?>

That won't change the content area of a page asynchronously like the OP appears to want.
