: PHP is a scripting language (the most popular at the moment), to use this

: //this places the value in the variable $root_url in front of
: //variable $link_1 and stores it into the variable $link_1e

:
: echo "<a id=\"institute_link_1\" HREF=$link_1e> $linkname_1 </a>";
: //here the anchor tag is typed to the resulting HTML that is sent to

: ?>
:
: This snippet of PHP code isn't that useful as an example.
:
: <?PHP
: $linkarray=("The link name" => "http://example.net",
: "Another" => "http://user.example.net",
: "CIA" => "http://www.cia.net",
: "FBI" => "http://www.fbi.net",
: "W3C" => "http://www.w3c.org",
: "Linux" => "http://www.linux.org"
: );
: foreach($linkarray as $name => $url) {
: echo "<a href=\"$url\">$name</a><br>\n";
: }
: ?>
:
: This would generate the following
:
: <a href="http://example.net">The link name</a><br>
: <a href="http://user.example.net">Another</a><br>
: <a href="http://www.cia.net">CIA</a><br>
: <a href="http://www.fbi.net">FBI</a><br>
: <a href="http://www.w3c.org">W3C</a><br>
: <a href="http://www.linux.org">Linux</a><br>
:
:
: You just add links to the $linkarray in the same manner as those I made.
: Inside the for each loop you design the look of how the links should be
drawn
: in the HTML data sent. The $name is the name of the link an the $url where
the
: link will point. If you would save the code to it's own file, say
menu.php,
: then you need to rename all the files that will use the php-code to
: <old name - .html>.php (if the old file was index.html, then it should be
: named index.php) and at the location where the links will be listed you
add
:
: <?PHP include 'menu.php'; ?>
:
: every time you want to change the links, you edit the menu.php file.
:
: This is just a crude example, if you need php help, then visit alt.php.
