how do sites update? Options

[speakerboxx123]

okay so i'll use this page as an example:
http://silentatmosphere.com/index.php

lets say she wants to add something like a link on the /index.php page how does she apply that change to EVERY single page she has on the site?

If you mean the sidebar, the author is probably using PHP includes to make the sidebar load on every page without having to edit each individual file. This is really not a very complicated process, but it does take a bit of explaining so I'll link you to a tutorial:

Also, this is linked at the end of the article and is helpful as well:

edit; I need to start refreshing when I get distracted before responding. xD

You didn't include it the right way.

This is where your problem is:

CODE

<?PHP
$template="anthony-heartquasm";
include("/home/.kills/anthony_hq/anthony.heartquasm.org/cutenews/show_news.php");
?>

Try something like this:

CODE

<?php include("http://anthony.heartquasm.org/cutenews/shownews.php"); ?>

btw, thanks for linking me, but do you mind just using my first name? thanks.
