Remote display of text

Hey, I was wondering if there was a HTML/similar code to enable the remote display of text... If you have no idea of what im talking about then take this as an example:

Page content... bla bla bla

(FOOTER)

I would want to put a code in the footer of all pages to show text from a seperate text file, so that I can easily update copyright information etc. (Ive tried doing this using iFrames and images but it doesn't quite work the way I want it to).

I think there is an <ISML> tag but i did a search on here and on google and I couldn't find anything useful! Does anyone know how to do such a thing?

In my opinion the best way is to change all .html extensions to php and use the following code wherever you want the copyright to appear...

Code:
<?PHP
include("copyright.php");
?>


Then create a copyright.php file with all the code that you wish.

I personally use this method for my header, footer, and navigation menu which is really helpful due to the fact that i only have to change one file

I would suggest using require() instead, so the code will stop the page from loading if it can't load the file.

Another option is to use a lightweight CMS that doesn't put kiddie gloves on everything, such as [url=textpattern.com]TextPattern[/url], which I highly reccommend.

I am using include_once() PHP function.

Actualy I don't like require function. I think it is better if is partial content come out then nothing. In that case user can easy to reload my page.
