Hi,

 

I want to have the functionality of php includes or ASP.net masterpages e.g. have one template page and content pages.

 

I was interested in what options I have for this. I'm only doing a small site with around 10 pages.

 

Thanks

 

Andy

Hi Andy,

 

Try the following in your main content area:

 

<?php
$page = stripslashes($_GET['page']);
if (isset($page)) {
   if (file_exists("".$page.".php")) { //Change .php to the extension of choice for pages you want to include
       include "".$page.".php"; //Again, change extension if needed
   } else {
       echo "Error: Page Not Found.";
   }
} else {
   include "mainpage.php"; //Change this to your 'news page', if you like...
}
?>

<?
function template($part) {
switch ($part) {
case "header":
insert header stuff here
break;
case "footer":
footer stuff here
break;
}
}
?>

 

Put the above in your template.php file and use:

 

<?=template("header");?>

 

to build bits - your template file can include as many bits of html as required.
