How to echo variable? PHP

[Webviper2006]

Hi how to echo text for a another page?

Files:
news.php - My page with 4 colom
fn1.php - The text for news colom 1


fn1.php

PHP Code:

 We are closed right now. 


<hr>

new.php

PHP Code:

 <?php echo"fn1.php"; ?>

<hr>

And then on the news colom it says like this...

fn1.php

Why?

you should read a little on what your trying to do... why in the world would you include a file with just a little text in it? if you want to echo what your going to echo just use echo"We are closed right now.";

If you want to use variables from another include you have to include the file first.. you cannot display the contents of a file using echo...

but you could use fn1.php and have a var in it called $message="We are closed right now."; and then include it in new.php and type echo $message;
