php include menu

[MaxD]

I'm looking at Easy button & menu maker for a new site, and been looking into using more php to save time. Is using php includes a good way of adding this menu to my pages? Should the links to the files created be relative or absolute urls?

You can select whether to use absolute or relative URLs when creating your menu code. I recommend absolute paths if you use php.

Thanks for the info. Absolute urls seems easier, as folders get moved etc. Will try it out.

Hi Max,
I use php and I "include" the menu code (menu.htm in my case) on my pages by doing something like this:

Code: Select all

<div align="center"><?php include("menu.htm"); ?></div>

It is a great way to easily add your menu to every page.
"menu.htm" is the output generated by MenuMaker.
Of course, don't forget to use the PHP extension for your pages.
