Below is a scrip I use for menu on various sections of my site that
started out being one thing and now is something different.
At this time I have over 500 variations of this scrip as each of them
have different years as well some have less pages while others have
more. The section names always changes.
I am new to PHP as this would cut down on changing each page when I
add more pages to a section or that section has more years added than
plan.
I want to do one page of code for each different menu and put it on
the server to changes all the efected pages. A section call Toronto/
Women'sCollege can be Mississuga/AbsoluteWorld or Transit/Hamilton and
so on.
I know I am looking at over a 1,000 different types of combination of
menus and will climb over time.
If I write page code call Women'sCollege.txt the following code would
show up on thar text file.That file would be place in a folder call
call menu or Torontomenu on the server.
On the web pages is where I am not sure how to do the code and it
could be something like this:
<?php include("./menu/Women'sCollege.txt"); ?> or <?php include("./
urbanToronto/Women'sCollege.txt"); ?> or <?php include("./transit/
MississaugaTransit.txt"); ?> depending if it's an urban site or a
transit site.
I am not sure where to put the folder and the text files and it has
been years since I did anything with the cgi and have forgot most of
it.
Any help or pointers are welcome and time I start looking at server
side coding based on how my site is growing.
I have 10 subdomain for my site now.
Thanks

It really doesn't matter where you put them, as long as they are in a
directory accessible to your web server. Use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
to identify the absolute path to the server root directory then a
relative path to your menu based off of that.
But you don't necessarily need PHP for this - SSI (Server Side Includes)
can include files, also. And are you sure you're using cgi? Most
hosting companies run PHP as a module.
