Wilbert, On one site as an experiment, I decided to put each frame (I know you don't want to use them...read on) into a single .php. It decides what to do via a switch on $act. Consequently, it's simple to keep it consistent (menu, submenu, footer, etc.). Add item link <a href="index.php?act=additem&itemid=blah?> Then just go through and create your table as necessary changing the subcontent as necessary.
Granted, this can make for a very large .php file which will be better served using APC cache or Zend Cache. Mike... Wilbert Enserink wrote: >Hi all, > > >I'm busy building a website.
