How to only include specific div element to a page in php? - php

Question

Is this possible? I have not seen this kind of codes. I really wanted to implement this but i was not able to search for it or I do not know how this kind of execution is called.
On a php page I have this elements of divs.
elements.php
<div id="countries">
<p>Malaysia</p>
<p>India</p>
</div>
<div id="cities">
<h2>sihgn</h2>
<p>sighn city</p>
</div>
<div id="street">
<h2>nowhere</h2>
<p>somewhere</p>
</div>
and on the showcountryonly.php which displays the specific div only.
<?php include (elements.php)?> ???? echo div #countries
on the showcitiiesonly.php which displays the city only.
<?php include (elements.php)?> ???? echo div #cities
on the showstreetonly.php which displays the street div only.
<?php include (elements.php)?> ???? echo div #street
The reason I want to implement this is I want to only edit one page for all of my includes.
Thank you.

You can define a variable for each div in elements.php:
$countries = '<div id="countries">
<p>Malaysia</p>
<p>India</p>
</div>';
$cities = '<div id="cities">
<h2>sihgn</h2>
<p>sighn city</p>
</div>';
$streets = '<div id="street">
<h2>nowhere</h2>
<p>somewhere</p>
</div>';
After including the elements file, you can just echo the needed variable:
<?php
include (elements.php);
echo $countries; // $cities or $streets
?>
Hope this helps.
