PHP Includes

Something simple - How does one include html files into php documents?

It's a simple thing, but I can't find it anywhere whilst searching throhgh google.

It only works for local files...which I think you know.

Just


include("/path/to/file.html");

no, it can include files across http or ftp as well.

include("http://www.google.com");

Thanks lad!

... Wow, can you really include from other sites? That'd give a pretty strange result; wouldn't it? I don't see how that would work, if you included an entire website into the page... maybe I will try it see what it does. :confused:

Oh yea, I guess it can include remote files.

But heed this warning:


The Windows version of PHP currently does not support remote file accessing for this function, even if allow_url_fopen is enabled.
