Question

I have a site where the pages have the following structure:

<?php
    include('header.php');
?>

Content goes here

<?php
    include('footer.php');
?>

In the header I have a div that contains anything that is wider than the page itself. This div is above the main content:

<? if ($slider == true){ ?>

    <div id="slider">
       Content wider than page goes here
    </div>

If I set $slider to true on any page, the above div will show. Now, I want to be able to edit the content of this div from any page. How do I do this? Simply adding a variable like $slider_content and then including it in the header did not work.

Answer 1

If that’s what you mean…

<?php
    $slider_content = 'foo';

    include('header.php');
?>

Content goes here

<?php
    include('footer.php');
?>

And your slider:

<div id="slider">
   <?=$slider_content?>
</div>
