For future programming the following, IMHO, works really well:
1.) Use "require_once()" instead of "include()". Some of my
applications get so harry that for saftey checks I will call a file
more then once, this protects re-establishing code. Also, require will
cause fatal error while include will only warn. You probably will want
to know for sure if a file made it ok.
2.) If your going to program in this way, use some of PHP's built in
short cuts:
Replace - <?php include("phpincludes/server-nav.php");?>
With - <?=require_once("phpincludes/server-nav.php")?>
Notice lack of "php" after "?" instead an "=" and no ";" at end. This
works and shrinks code ;)
Cheers,
