Well first of a PHP script is not a JavaScript. You need to actually
use a php statement to include a php, text, or other file type. There
are two methods for including a file, the general include, or the
more stringent, require file. I've included a sample if both
statements below:
............
<html>
<?php
require("/web/ftp/biz/path_to_file/html/includes/globals.php3");
include("/web/ftp/biz/path_to_file/html/includes/location.php3");
?>
<?php
require($gBasePath . "/includes/header.php");
include($gBaseURL . "/includes/header.php");
?>
<?php
require("/includes/header.php");
include("/includes/header.php");
?>
..............
You'll note some differences:
The first require statement basically indicates the page shouldn't
run or display unless this file is found. The path_to_file is given
implicitly from the server root rather than from the .html folder.
You can require a file for many reasons, but in general I do so only
if the information absolutely needs to be included on the page. So
for template pages: header, footer, and startBody, closeBody
statements are all required, as well as a global file and a config
file, just in case, we rapidly ad a MySQL statement.
The second statement is an include statement, which can use absolute
or relative path.
The following two statements use the same method, but call on
specifications defined in the "globals" file. The global file defines
a BaseURL (http://www.yourdomain.net), and a BasePath
(/web/path_to_file). Once defined they can be used to specify a full
path in more relative terms. This is useful for files that are called
throughout the site, since if your always using a header, on ever
page, regardless of directory, you don't want to code for it
../includes/header.php on one page and ../../../includes/header.php
on the next. A global base or global url, will keep the code
portable, short, and sweet.
The last two statements basically specify relative paths, for
including files within the same folder.
