I am making a website using HTML. I am not familiar with PHP. I need the navigation and header part to be in a single place. i.e., Once I change the menus in one place it should reflect in all other pages. Kindly help me on this.
Thanks in Advance.

1kindly google `PHP Beginner Tutorial` yourself. Hint: `require` is the php command you are seraching for to include a file. – Andresch Serj Apr 30 '14 at 10:07

It's a legit question for someone who's only wish is to divide his HTML structure to files, you dont really need to know PHP to do that. – fadeys.work Aug 31 '14 at 11:00

You could use include or require to add your Menu-Html file in every page you wish. you could add something like this:
<?php
include('menu.html');
?>
wherever your menu should appear in your HTML, having a menu.html file of course. and you'll need an apache server or any other that can 'read' your php files.

Thanks. Which one will work on old browsers?. Includes or require? – Mohammed Hussain Apr 30 '14 at 10:22

php has no dependencies on browsers, so either one will do. you should read what's php is all about to better understand what you are about to do. – fadeys.work Apr 30 '14 at 10:23

Thanks again. I got your point. A final doubt, as you said, if I save my menu as menu.html and include it on index.php, will it work? or do I need to save menu.html as menu.php? – Mohammed Hussain Apr 30 '14 at 10:26

you could include either a php or an html file. just make sure you are running apache or something similar that could handle php files. – fadeys.work Apr 30 '14 at 10:30
