"PHPing again"

I like including stuff on my websites, thing is, I need to arrange the same data on 2 pages, the way I currently do it is to have 2 files and include each one where it's needed (obviosuly)

I'm guessing this must be pretty simple,
read the file,
find the data,
include the data into the page,

Thing is, I have no idea of the kind of script I need, evrything I currently have doesn't do this kind of thing, anyone know how I can or where I can find out how to, please :)

Ok, i'm getting a new domain this weekend..hopefully, i'll buy some databases and learn a bit o MySql, maybe knock some people on the head to give me a helping hand :D *grabs hold of cjh so he can't run away*

I know it's a lot better than text files..yadda, yadda, yadda, but if it was easy everyone would learn it and get big buck wages.

Well, in that case, I don't have a direct answer right now, but I'll keep keep it in mind, see if I can come up with something.

Though, I would just say keep is simple and stick all the values in one file and just leave it there :oP but thats just me :o)

Thats what i've done already :p
I want one file with all the date so I only have to update one page :D

Now your just getting picky :oP

Maybe, have one file, data1.php, with:

$name = "";
$mail = "";
$dob = "";

and data2.php with

include("data1.php");
$age = "";
$url = "";

How does that sound??

data page = 5 string of info:

$name = "";
$age = "";
$mail = "";
$url = "";
$dob = "";

page 1 needs: $name, $mail, $dob,
page 2 needs: all

but when I update at the moment, I have 2 pages od the data and have to include it seperatly, I want to be able to call some of the data from the page without taking all of it.

Kinda like what MySql does but with text files :)

Maybe, but I'm still none the wiser :oP. Sorry.

So, you've got say, 5 pages of info.
You want these details to be included into 2 different pages??
- BUT, you only want certain data available to the 2nd page?

Wrong again???

Heh, that wasn't what I needed to do Fog and master were just examples :p

I've got few pages of data which need to be included into 2 pages, 1 has about 10 strings, the other has 3 but they use the same info. :)

I think i explained it better that time.

I'm unable to help you directly with what you want, but could I ask you something. Why not just include the fog.php file in both pages?? You wouldn't have to use the second variable for the second page, but it would save you from having to do what your after.

Maybe there is a simple way of doing what your looking for, but I, unfortunatly, don't know what it would be, sorry.

Just seems to me that your making more work for yourself than is needed :o).

erm, yeah that would have answered my question, thing is, I wrote that about 3 times, had to get it right y'see, but as you can see...I didn't :/

What I meant was, I already have that date in fog.php

fog.php:

$fname = "Fog";
$lname = "master";
?>

thing is, I want to include both strings fron fog.php into one page, and only the $fname into another page, how do I do this? :D

I may have missunderstood what you wanted, so sorry if I did.

Why not just have the data you want aranged into a seperate file, and include that file in the 2 pages you mentioned.

Does that sound right, or have I got the wrong impression as to your request?
