Using PHP To Update Parts Of A Page...

[tomyknoker]

I have been told that you can use PHP for things like updating typo's, dates and things like this... This is from a course outline... Can you explain a bit more what they are saying am thinking of doing a PHP course...
But then it comes time to fix that typo, edit some content or update the year in the copyright notice at the bottom of every page in your site – what a hassle!

Heh... I think you missed the point slightly :)

The point they were attempting to make was that you can use PHP to include() a single file in several places on your site, meaning that you can make site-wide changes just by modifying that one file.
