It would not be this simplistic because you will have to account for an empty string so you have to check it, and the rest supply default content and what not.

Yeah check those out too, they are not great resources but they will give you the basics... I don't know... I am sure I could have done those tut's a bit better...
CPrompt Maniac (V) Inmate From: there...no..there..... Insane since: May 2001	posted 04-04-2002 21:24 Thanks guys. I think that WarMage's second way of doing it is the way that I would prefer to do it. I don't really want to have to put everything in a datatbase. I will check out my manual on XSSI and read up on some things. Like I said I am not that good at PHP yet and a lot of this is really new to me. Thanks again and as always You Guys Rock!

On the recent projects I think I remembered something about MySQL or a database or something. I am not 100% on this.

If it was from a database the file would resemble:

code:

<?php

//PHP code to call information from the database.

?>

<html>

  <head>

    <title>Site Title - <?php echo("$pageTitle");?></title>

  </head>

  <body>



  <?php echo("$pageContent");?>



  </body>

</html>

If he was not using a database then he probabally had content pages where he would pull the content into the page based on some variables or a query string such as in XSSI.

The supplied query string would resemble: template.php?page=testPage.html

code:

<html>

  <head>

    <title>Some Page</title>

  </head>

  <body>

    <?php include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/content/$page"); ?>

  </body>

</html>

The above variable $page corresponds to the query string.

It would not be this simplistic because you will have to account for an empty string so you have to check it, and the rest supply default content and what not.

You can do a lot of different things with different ways of doing it. Good luck with it and what not.
