In PHP, what function do I use to incorporate the name of files into PHP files?

I'm not quite sure I understand your question, but I think you may be talking about the include function. If, say, you wanted to include a footer file at the bottom of every page, you would have to make the following function call:

<? include "footer.php"; ?>

You can use include("path/to/file"); or require("path/to/file");

Big Vern and Smaaz both said it. If you want to insert the contents of another file into the PHP file you're editing, use either

include("path/to/file");

or

require("path/to/file");

The only difference is that when you use "require" and the file being called isn't there or cannot be loaded, the whole page will not render. Whereas in include, there'll just be nothing where that inserted file should be.

you mean, include or require function are same. but a little bit difference is there. we can use anyone anytime.
