Header.php

[userbung]

So basically I make my files include

<?php include 'header.php'; ?>

To update the sites fast by just editing the header.php.

However, I have to include this header.php file into every directory and then update the header.php file into every directory where it is in. Is there any way where I can make it so that it just refers to one header.php in a directory? So I dont have to include it in every directory and update it in every directory?

You can have your header.php file in your website root and then reference it with

<?php
include $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/header.php";
?>

Or have it inside of a directory called “includes” in the root and reference it like so:

<?php
include $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/includes/header.php";
?>

Then again, it is all up to you to decide the name of the directory, so feel free to modify the code.

thanks, it works, one more thing is that you should add " ob_start(); " at the top, above the include statement, that way it wont tamper with header redirects.
