Tiny website hrlp

[Markymark]

I have a website that has a couple of constants that appear on multiple pages (prices). It's all php. What's the most efficient way of displaying them but not having to change every page when the price changes?

Is it having each time they're displayed as a php script, Java, MySQL? I know a little but no expert so please keep it simples!

Thanks in advance.

If you don't want to get too technical, a quick and easy solution may be to create a new file, e.g. prices.php

<?PHP

$price1 = "20.00";
$price2 = "21.00";

?>

Then in your other PHP files:

<?PHP include('prices.php'); ?>

Buy A for <?= $price1 ?>

Buy B for <?= $price2 ?>

@User9609 correctly describes the right way to do this from scratch.

But for the situation as you have described, @BrynCP has the right answer. Get all the constants into one file, then include that file in all the other files. I'd copy everything to new directory (call it "staging"), make the changes and when it's all working again, copy it back. In fact, I'd get everything into source code control before touching a thing.

Yes the one from @BrynCP looks the ticket.

I do have a MySQL for other things but seems excessive for this. The php variables looks quick and easy.

Thanks all
