Script to diplay included HTML pages

Topic

New Reply

I am looking for a script that works like ‘include’ only instead of just including 1 HTML file, it will include all the HTML files in a designated directory. If I can do this, it avoids updating 3 different HTML pages with the ‘include’ coding and I can just have the user upload the html file to the ‘include’ directory instead of editing the HTML page.

When you say script, do you mean a server-side script like ASP? ASP pages use VBScript, so you can pretty easily write code to retrieve all the files in a folder. On the other hand, if you mean a client-side script, then it’s quite unlikely that you could retrieve all the file names in a folder on the server… there’s no readily accessible public interface for that (and certainly you wouldn’t include any privileged passwords in a client-side script).

You could always have a single file with all the include files in, then include that file in the pages. e.g.

include/include_root.php :

----------

index.php:

...

...

---------

This may save some time in the long run, as per a script for directory inclusion… Perhaps you can create a php script that uses a method that scans the dir, and includes each file,

include/include_root.php:

1){ //Removes the . and .. that is returned from readdir
$file_array[$count - 2] = $file; //Appends the files found to an array
}
$count++;
}
closedir($dir);
foreach($file_array as $inc_file){ //Cycle through the file array, include each file
include ("include/".$inc_file); //Ensure root dir is same as your opendir()
}
}else{
echo "Error.";
}
?>

index.php remains the same

Feel free to use without my header, i attached a fully functional example, with all neccessary items. Be careful what you put in your include directory.

This also assume you have php support.
