Simple PHP includes

Next, create another file. Just type some nonsense in it and name it "stuff.php". In your menu file, make sure you have a link to "stuff.php". The link should be something like "http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?stuff" because of the reasons I mentioned above.

Now, upload those files and see what it looks like. It SHOULD look a little bit like the site http://www.hobbiton.org/~zeroone/test - please note the server that site is on is going down permanently soon, so you may not be able to access it.

If that all worked out, you've got a simple PHP layout. Play with it a bit, and you'll be able to implement it into your site's design to make being a webmaster easier. I hope this tutorial was helpful. Please send your comments to me at [email protected].
