I want my website to display my own icon but i dont know how to do it. What do i need to add to the index or w/e in order to get it to show up?

wow that looks like way to much code to just display an icon... so i save the first block of code to a file named favicon.inc.php and then put the other block of code where?

YOu should probably use HTML or something.

I have no idea, I've just been googling stuff. Google is your friend. I don't even know PHP. I found some results that seem promising but I'm not sure if they would work or not.

i cant. or dont know how to do it when my whole site is based off of php..

All you have to do is put your favicon in your root.

Just create a favicon ico file and it will work for you that way.

Here is the better way, thought I'd make it a new post.

Go here.

It generates the icon and gives you the one line of code you need.

Even if it's on a php webpage, you should still have a HEAD to it...

OR you can just ECHO the HTML...though that would be odd.
