Creating Dynamic Pages 12

Can my include file contain any content I want?

Yes. The include file can be made up of plain HTML,

PHP, or any other content you want. This file is

processed as if it were part of the including

document.

How can I style my included content?

Most of the time, your include ends up in a

document that contains a link to an external style

sheet. Because the include is processed as part of

that page, any CSS rules apply to it.

● When you view the second

file in your Web browser, the

contents of the included file

appear.

6 Type include(“?”);,
replacing? with the path to
the file from Step 3.

7 Type ?>.

8 Save the file into the Web
server’s root directory.
