Hey guys, Im building a fairly large website here, I am using quite a bit of php along with it, but what I was wondering, I have a header that does’t change throughout the website, and I was wondering if I could create a function in some of my php code where all I would have to do is call like a function getHeader() and it will return the header. Now this header has some php in it also like a search bar and a username container… I was just wondering if this was possible on a fairly simple scale so I don’t have to place the header code in each php file. which is fine but if I happen to make an update I have to update file which could take some time…
Thanks in advance!
Just create a header file (e.g. header.php) and include it.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.include.php
You can either have the code directly in the header.php not in any functions, and it will run by default, or put it in a function and call it manually.
