I liked the looks of this tutorial (for getting across the basics quickly):

But, you can take your pick from these:

Define "embed." Are you talking about using an iframe?

[djr33]

include(), though a little more work in some cases, would likely turn out much better.
It does depend on the situation. Anything from iframes to include() to ajax might fit.

without using an iframe...

I repeat:
Define "embed.""Embed" can mean:Output as part of the document Store the data from the second file within the first file Link to the second file from the first file in such a way that the first file is affected by the contents of the second
Never quote yourself. It looks conceited.

[lankinator]

Store the data from the second file within the first file

[Twey]

<?php
$secondFile = <<<EOF
Some data goes here. You can put whatever you like here and it will be stored within the file (in the variable \$secondFile) and not output.
EOF;
?>
