Calling text from a different php file

I’m looking to find a way to make a config.php file to setup the website easier. See below;

config.php –

#Community Name
$commname = "Community A",

#Community Phone Number
$commphone = "0123456789",

index.php –

<h1>Community Name: <?php echo($commname) ?></h1>
<h2>Phone Number: <?php echo($commphone) ?></h2>

contact.php (same setup, just a different page) –

<h1>Community Name: <?php echo($commname) ?></h1>
<h2>Phone Number: <?php echo($commphone) ?></h2>

I’m fairly new to PHP so I’m not sure if echo is the best way to do it or not.

Thanks!

Ye so just create a config.php

<?php

$serverName = "Server Name";

?>

Then inside your other php files include the config file by doing

<?php

require_once(__DIR__ . "/config.php");

?>

Then where you want to use the variable do

<title> <?php echo $serverName; ?> </title>
