My my mind was blown.
One of the problems I was facing with webdesign was "well I have this nice menu, but transferring it to a new web host would mean I have to change all of these links in each of these index pages."
But I slid that trouble to the side to learn about making a secure login form.
BUT YOU SIR!!! You came along and say NO! I shall show you how to do it and you won't even expect it.
I can't believe I didn't consider using PHP includes for this though.
Thanks bro.

this method is absolutely amazing... I will never go without slicing up a page again... THANK YOU!

Alex, I learn more from your videos than from my lecturers. thank you

[HDDesign]

The last two videos are really helpful if you are making a wordpress theme too. Good work. If you don't understand this stuff, you should consider watch the beginner tutorials on html/css/php/javascript, before attempting a login website

Everything here is great. Includes are the number one feature to in include (no pun intended) in any dynamic website. If I could make one suggestion though. If widgets are to be truly moulder, they can't be conditional includes, the widget has to exist by it self then be conditional within the widget. One login widget with conditions within the widget is the best way to go.

Thank you alex, I learn more from you, than from my uni

because the file is still read from the includes folder, so you should put it like include 'includes/menu.php'

basically why this is, is because header.php is called upon to act in index.php, once this is done it finds another include in the header file you have just imported into your index file, so it needs to go back into the includes folder again for the menu.php file

Everything works perfectly, stop complaining and pay more attention!

I'm impressed! thx for this tutorial.
But i have one question: the side-title in the head.php is still the same. can i change it from side to side?

[ellejay]

If the css isn't showing, try copy and pasting or moving the css file into the includes folder

[neinundnein]

Oh, no, by no means bored death! Your solutions are very elegant ;)

[otacon]

I think you can declare a variable like $pagetitle before including the head.php file, which would take that variable as the title.

How do you get rid of the indents on multiple lines at once on notepad++? Thanks for this awesome tutorial!

[gjl]

Was just wondering.. is there a noticeable drop in performance if one uses so many includes? Thanks!!

[HyprzockrMC]

Breaking up doesn't work for me. When I beak up everything it shows a clear website (I created my own template :D )

[VijayNandwani]

Press Tab to indent. And if you want to outdent press Shift + Tab. Try both of them with a unorganized code. You'll come to know the difference.

Where am I supposed to download the css page?
