PHP require

[alphonso]

Hello--

Newbie question here. I added the following tag in the HEADER.HTML template so that all pages will display a global navigation code.

<?php require("../sidebar.htm"); ?>

It doesn't seem to work, and I can't really tell why. My other tags (HTML only) displayed. My relative url for the sidebar.htm file is correct. I even put a separate test.php file just to see if I can display the sidebar from within the directory where INDEXU is installed. I don't get it.

I tried searching the forum for an few hours... but only find partially related queries.

Hope this doesn't sound too dumb. Help!

Figured it out by myself. Apparently, it doesn't work if the php code is in the header.html template. It has to be in a php file. So I added the code to index.php. Now it works.

Great software.
