Using PHP Includes in My Website

Why I Used PHP Includes

Using PHP includes made the website easier to manage. Instead of rewriting the same code on every page, I only created the header, nav, and footer once, then included them where needed.

Benefits

• Keeps the layout consistent across all pages
• Makes the code easier to maintain
• Reduces repeated code
• Saves time when editing shared sections
• Improves project organization

Example in My Project

In my project, all pages such as Home, Gallery, Feedback, Resume, Contact, and Database use the same header, navigation bar, and footer. If I update the navigation menu in one file, the change appears on all pages automatically.

Conclusion

Overall, PHP includes were very useful in my portfolio website. They helped me keep the website neat, consistent, and easier to update. It is a simple but important technique in web development.
