Example of using INCLUDE to show a nav bar. For beginners. Simply uses include to show an external file (in this case, nav.php) and that's it! You can also include this in another page with a CSS style. The CSS will be automatically included in formatting the INCLUDEd page!

If you're goal is to deal with output, you may find that using ob_ is more flexible, as it lets you retrieve the output from external files and store them in variables for later use.

The syntax would be:

 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<?php
ob_start();
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
?>
<?php
ob_start();
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
?>

There are also a whole bunch of other ob_ functions. Check the php.net manual for more information.
