Hi Larry, Jim, Joel,

*** In addition to echo you can also use: include, include_once, require or
require_once, to bring in the contents of another file...which could contain
straight HTML or code to produce HTML.

See http://devzone.zend.com/manual/function.require.html.


This is an excellent way to modularise your code...i.e. a change to the
included/required file is rippled throughout all files that include/require
it, e.g:

In this example skel_A.php requires somemodule.php:

*** somemodule.php

<!--somemodule.php
<p>Hello - I am from somemodule</p>
-->



*** skel_A.php:

<html>
<body>
<!-- Indent: ONE TAB -->
<?php require('somemodule.php');?>
</body>
</html>


*** Output (view source)

* skel_A.php
<html>
<body>
<!-- Indent: ONE TAB -->
<!--somemodule.php
<p>Hello - I am from somemodule</p>
-->
</body>
</html>


*** BTW - you can also use print() instead of echo():
