include page content

hi, i saw a tutorial snippet about including pages into a default index page. but what i dont understand is how i can get the content from the include page, as in should i call a method from that page? if so what of other pages using that same index would they use the same method name? please help really confused.

In PHP, there is a "include" function. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php

Once a php page is included, you can access the variables and methods in that page. When using include, you should also want to know about "require" function.

then how do i display the content of the included file. is it through return methods or what.

The link provided shows some examples. Please check it out first. Basically once a page is include, those methods and variables become local (on the same page).
