You could include it. Your included file could be a PHP file containing the html with a $content = " statement before it.

You could also use fread to read it into $content.

Odysea,

Templating is complex enough for most php programmers to use a 3rd party class/suite for the job. In such suites, much of the hard work has been done for you. Instead, all you have to do is install and learn how to drive them!

Here's an (old) discussion - there are many more (Google "php template engine"):

$query = "SELECT id, name, content, updated ". "FROM news ". "WHERE id = '1'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error());
list($id, $name, $content, $updated) = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM);
