Using a navigation bar from a seperate PHP file

I've created a navigation bar that's held in it's own PHP file that I want to be displayed on each other page of my website but I'm having trouble outputting the file as PHP code rather than just echoing the contents of the file.
I get that output when I use

Code: Select all

readfile
. Can you suggest another way to do this?

Regards,

I have no idea what you are talking about. Can you post the code and try explaining again?

I have a navigation bar, something along the lines of

Code: Select all

<table width = '80%'>
<td>
<a href = 'http://a.com'> Link  </a>
</td>
</table>
Which is stored in nav.php. I want that nav bar to be at the top of every other page.
On index.php I have:

Code: Select all

readfile("nav.php");
But it displays the contents of nav.php and I want it to use the code from nav.php so it leaves me only having to update 1 file and the changes are seen on all pages.

Are you looking for file_get_contents() ?

Change it to include("nav.php");
