You want to include your links on every page correct? You can do one of two ways that should be fairly easy.

1) Create a page called linksbar.php (or whatever name you wish) and place all your links there like you would for any menu, formatting it with HTML. Then you would include it in all the pages using this code below:

include('links bar.php');

2) Second way is just to make a function called menu() and have your menu/links formatted there like tis:

function menu() {
echo "Link&qu ot;; //format your link here
echo "Link&qu ot;; //format your link here
echo "Link&qu ot;; //format your link here
echo "Link&qu ot;; //format your link here
}

then place menu(); where ever the links need to be called up.

would you say thats smart... or efficient.. are there better ways.. Thanks dude.. im surprised i got a response this fast.

Hey, did you read the Site Design Made Simple article? Just make a page_sidebar page, and include it on every page. Then you just edit the page_sidebar, and it applies to the whole site.

If you are designing a website with many pages, it would make sense to use includes or functions to call up your heading, footer, menu, sidebars, etc... This way making one in one location will affect the whole site, thus saving you much time then trying to manually update each page to reflect those changes.

Ok Cool... now i gota find a tutorial on how to do that..

im gona give it a try my self first tho.. see what i learned.. i know i wont have to include any db_connect statements or $ob_start() statements... im asuming i only create the links. with the design and colors.. and then just do require($_SERVE R['DOCUMENT_RO OT'].'/links. php');

let me know if my asumption is WAYYYYY off.. lol
