How do I include or require a PHP file?

[NeckBone]

Hi Folks,
I'm a newbie to PHP, I have a C++ background and am trying to get started with PHP. I'm also trying to use the GPL browser detector at apptools.com/phptools/browser/source.php

I've been practicing with it loaded on Apache Server with PHP 4 installed but not getting anywhere.

I'm not sure about how to call it from a web page to include the file.

Could you please help me out with a hint on how to include the file into a web page?

Thanks,
NeckBone

include() or require(), if that's what you are looking for.

If you copy the source file "browser.php" (the one you mention) to the directory your PHP source is in then the (minimal/sample) code should look like this:

<?php
require_once("browser.php");
$br = new Browser;
echo "$br->Platform, $br->Name version $br->Version";
?>
