Help with a PHP menu

[sibrow]

Hi, I am starting a website, and eventualy it will have many pages.

There will need to be a menu on each page, and I realy dont fancy updatind the same menu on every single page.

I found this: which is what I am trying to do. I have uploaded www.zine.pcriot.com/menu.php and also www.zine.pcriot.com/main.html if I open the php file directly it works, but for some reason the main.html is not linking to it corectly (or at all). I also tried the asp version www.zine.pcriot.com/menu.asp and neither one works.

This: http://www.webmaster-talk.com/html-...g-content-links-several-pages.html#post324589 forum post explains what I am trying to do. Please help. Perhaps I dont have sufficient server priveledges?

for the PHP to properly work. The file opening the PHP file must be a *.php file.... simple PHP....

You can use frames and use the same menu (menu.htm) on everypage.

Or if you want it in php, you can add links to a database by php or manualy.
And then retreive it by the php while-loop command.

The following code will show each link across the page, with even space with between each link.

*Database connect*

$links = 0;
while($DBLinks = $mysql_fetch_array['database'])
{
$links +=1;
$Link[$Links] = $DBLinks['url'];
}

$linkcount = 0;
$tablewidth = 100/$links;
echo "<table width='100%'><tr>";
while($link >= $linkcount){

echo "<td align=center width='".$tablewidth."%'>".$Link['$linkcount']."</td>";
$linkcount +=1;
}
echo "</tr></table>"

I havnt tested it, but thats roughly how it works.

Thanks for your help, changed the file to php and it works fine now. (im not using frames because ive heard there no good for google indexing.

Thanks again, Simon

This is what I'm using, and yes, with frames. I have a different index page with all the keywords and stuff in the head...and in the body!!! There is a link to the main site from that page. I've noticed that the search results from many search engines are based on the content, rather than keywords.

This is a javascript menu.
