With normal HTML, if you wanted to add a link to the sidebar, you would have to do it on every page, and it's tedious work. That's where php comes into play. I don't really get that one code everyone seems to use, and I got one of my own. First, make sure you have a php compliant webhost. That's defiantly important. =p Okay, I'll make up a quick little webpage. Code: That code there will give me this page. It's a simple layout Now, as my site grows bigger, and I have 20 differnet content pages, it's gonna become a pain to add in a link to the sidebar. I'd have to edit all 20 pages, just to add that one link. And what happens when I want to add yet another? I have to edit all 20 pages again. That's where PHP comes in. I can turn the above single file into 3 seperate ones, and it'll make my updating life very easy. I'm gonna break it down into three files, "layout1.php", "index.php", and "layout2.php". On all my pages, everything up to where the main content begins is the same. Code: That's on all my pages, so I'm gonna use php's include function. I take all that out and make it a new file, labelled "layout1.php". Then, I go back to index.htm and rename it to index.php. The .php at the end tells the webserver that there is php coding in there. So, at the moment, index.php is looking like this: Code: I'm gonna add PHP Code: to the front of the file. What the include function does is... well, include. It'll take all the code from layout1.php and stick it into index.php. So if I were to look at the source of index.php, I would see this Code: The exact same thing as what it looked like before I took out the beginning stuff and put it in layout1.php. Now, like the beginning bit, the end bit is the same throughout all my pages. So I'll take this bit here, and put it in a new file labelled layout2.php Code: Now I can go through all my pages and replace the code with the php includes (remember to rename the files to content.php instead of content.html) and soon enough, my site will be completely dynamic, easily changable. |
