@Matthew1980: Thanks you so much sir :D.
@Anyango : i just wondering if what would be the best coding style building a website, because i just want to put all my code in my index.php.

For example:
I have register.php, about.php, login.ph and etc.... is't possible by calling and view them in my index.php?. my friend told me that i need to used function in that case and have a return value.

My Example Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3c.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">
<html>
<?php include_once "errorreporting.inc.php"; ?>
<?php include_once "inc.module.php"; ?>
<?php include_once "tittle.inc.php"; ?>
<?php include_once "head.inc.php"; ?>

<body>

<div class="forbg"></div>
<div class="forbeta"></div>

<div class="container">

<div class="header"></div>
<div class="spacer1"></div>
<?php include_once "nav.inc.php"; ?>
<div class="spacer1"></div>

<div class="main">

<div class="leftBContainer">

<?php
include_once "login.inc.php";
include_once "newestmember.inc.php";
include_once "stats.inc.php";
include_once "violators.inc.php";
?>

</div>

<div class="centerBContainer">

<?php
switch(isset($_GET['page'])) {

case "register":
echo loadRegister();
break;

default:
include_once "welcomemsg.inc.php";
include_once "announcement.inc.php";
include_once "member.inc.php";
break;
}
?>

</div>

<div class="rightBContainer">
<?php

include_once "whosonline.inc.php";
include_once "weatherforecast.inc.php";
include_once "relatedlinks.inc.php";
?>
</div>

<div class="spacer"></div>

</div>

<?php include_once "footer.inc.php"; ?>

</div>

</body>

</html>

[webmasterworld.com...]

check last 2 posts with code, they will give the basic of how you can have multiple pages being loaded from 1 single file. then you can modify the basic idea to your needs and build on it

@Finish3r! Welcome!

Since you've ask for examples, it's here:

You can always create a php file (global) that holds different php files.

Check below code. So if you have index.php, you just have to include this one file.

init.php

include('includes/config.php');
include('includes/mysql.php');
include('includes/inc.module.php');

You uses a lot of includes. Sometimes it's better to use function.

whosonline.inc.php

function whosOnline()
{
// run here
}
