Sidebar. Make me a template, maybe.

[Kurt_]

I need a sidebar for my website that allows me to edit it once, and the edit will be applied to all pages with the sidebar code, instead of adding a small piece of code to EVERY SINGLE PAGE that I want the ONE new link to go to.

I'm sure it's commonplace, but I suck. Help me out. My website is in the 'www' in the link below this post.

An example of what I'm asking.

I want to add a link to a new page "Digital Picture Frame". To do this, I currently need to go through every single page, editing the sidebar on each. With a growing number of pages, this could cause a problem.

Is there something simple, like a 1-2 line piece of code that will look for the html in a separate .txt file or something similar?

Can someone help me out a bit?

Do the sidebar in PHP and include the HTML file.

Can you do it for me?

a web programer should know this simply

ok here

make a file called sidebar.html
an put this code in all the webpages
<?php include("sidebar.html"); ?>

Or if you're lazy like me just use this:

Code: Select all

<? include 'side.php' ?>

[Bass Creator]

or mabe even

Code: Select all

<? include 'iceCream.php' ?>

[vb_master]

or mabe even

Code: Select all

<? include 'iceCream.php' ?>

That was about the stupidest post I have ever read.
