If you look under apache handlers you see that SHTML pages are capable of hadling Includes (which is how I do mine). You can also set it up so that .html and .htm pages can handle includes. Is there a down side to doing this? It sure seems easy to stick with html instead of PHP or SHTML.<!--content-->
Don't know if there is a downside. I thought I read a while back on the forums that someone couldn't mix SHTML and PHP. However you can use PHP includes to do everything you are doing now and it works in HTML files just fine.<!--content-->
So the main page can be in HTML and the include is a PHP file? Is that how it works or visa-versa<!--content-->
That is correct. Take a look at the <a href="http://us3.php.net/function.include" target="_blank">manual</a> for the include function.<br /><br />My site is all HTML and I use PHP includes for navigation and footers.<!--content-->
Ok, so I tried making an html page with a php include but I am having problems. <br /><a href="http://myjensen.com/new.html" target="_blank">http://myjensen.com/new.html</a><br />if you look at the source it shows three different attempts at getting it, but none show up. any Ideas?<!--content-->
