Submitted by alpha_luna on Thursday, April 7, 2016 - 16:13.
In this tutorial, we are going to learn about PHP Include Files. This is a useful idea, you can able to include a PHP file to another PHP script or into your HTML source code on multiple pages of your system or website. For short, this function analyze and work in a specific file. The include() functions grant you to do this. PHP Include Files can be used multiple times and single time.

Example

Multiple Times <?php include("footer.php"); ?> Single Time <?php include_once("footer.php"); ?> We have two PHP functions that we can use to include one PHP file to another PHP file.
  • The include() Function
  • The require() Function

Syntax

  1. <?php include("filename"); ?>
  2. or
  3. <?php require("filename"); ?>

PHP Include Example

We create a simple footer. Save as "footer.php". 
  1. <?php
  2. echo "<p style='font-size:18px; text-align:center;'>Copyright &copy; ". date('Y') .", Free source code, tutorials and articles</p>";
  3. ?>
To include this in the footer section in our page, use the include function. Then, create simple page. Save as "index.php". 
  1. <!DOCTYPE html>
  2. <html>
  3. <head>
  4. 	<title>
