I've been learning php recently, but I'd still consider myself to be a newbie to it.
I'm switching from using cgi, and plain old html, but my concern with php is including files (as with ssi). Is this possible with php, or is there an alternative, and if so, how do you do it?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Thanks, it seems a little confusing still, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.

To use them like you would use most SSI:
<?require("/home/sitepoint.com/htdocs/includes/navigation.inc")?>
There is many great ways to include files!
main.php:
// Here you will include a file
<html>
My name is <?php include('filename.inc'); ?>
</html>
filename.inc:
Long John
Output:
My name is Long John
Another way is to use a echo command.
main.php:
// Here you will include a config file
<?php include('config.inc'); ?>
<html>
<head>
<body bgcolor="<?php echo $bgcolor; ?>">
</head>
You can change the bgcolor remotely by the config file.
</html>
config.inc:
<?php
$bgcolor = "#990000";
?>
Hope that this helps!
Thanks, I've ended up up just using the include statement.
