That's pretty much what I'm doing today, header page, menu page, content page and a footer. Each of which includes a shared functions file as well via require_once(). Only real problem is keeping track of tables/rows/columns across all the various files. The 'where was that <tr> supposed to be...' kind of thing.
Here's another one, there's no way to set a cookie after the headers have been sent, true? Any way around this at all or at that point am I best to use session variables and/or hidden fields. I haven't done pure web development in a few years and am trying to catch back up quickly. Any "best practices" assistance would be appreciated. Thanks for the response by the way. /DAY -----Original Message----- From: Justin French [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2003 5:22 PM To: Darren Young; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Templates Go for a complex situation if that's what you want, or consider the basics: home.php <? include('inc/header_code.php'); // // unique code for this page to be executed before the <html> tag // include('inc/header_html.php'); ?> Welcome to our website! <? include('inc/footer.php'); ?> contact.php <? include('inc/header_code.php'); // // unique code for this page to be executed before the <html> tag // include('inc/header_html.php'); ?> Contact us: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <? include('inc/footer.php'); ?> If you update any code in any of the 3 include files, you will update the entire site's look, feel and actions. It still allows for you to execute unique PHP code either before or after the HTML starts too. Strip your site down to what's common, and what's unique to each page, and see where you go from there.
