I'm writing a small website that has multiple pages. I'd like to have the same footers on each page, but I don't want to manually update 10 pages of HTML everyday. I'd like to put a PHP call to an external file in each HTML page (now .php pages, thanks to @br14np) so that when I update the PHP file, all the pages - when loaded - will show the same footer text.
<p><?php footertext.php ?></p>
is my wild guess at loading the content in the file of the afformentioned name but to no avail. (In footertext.php the code is: <?php print("Test numba one") ?>
).
How can I go about doing this? I'd prefer an answer involving PHP.
UPDATE:
This is the exact code I'm using. Everything is in the same directory.
Main File:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p> Content: <?php include "footertext.php ?></p>
</body>
</html>
Footer Content:
echo 'Test numba TWO!';
