Hi Ian,
I don't know if I'm getting the hole idea of what you're looking for,
but here's something. I'm using a schema that was written by Ying Zhang
for the myMarket PHP application which is like this:
a) One main file which holds all the site's configurations, like DB
settings and golbals (OO Script). It also contains an object that will
call the scripts locations:
[snip]
/* define a generic object */
class object {};
/* setup the configuration object */
$CFG = new object;
$CFG-dbhost = localhost;
$CFG-dbname = dbname;
$CFG-dbuser = dbuser;
$CFG-dbpass = dbpassword;
$CFG-wwwroot = /directory;
$CFG-dirroot = /directory;
$CFG-templatedir = $CFG-dirroot/templates; // Here's your standard
files
$CFG-libdir = $CFG-dirroot/lib; // Lib for DB custom handling
$CFG-imagedir= $CFG-wwwroot/images;
[snip]
b) When every page is called (i.e. /news/index.php), all the files
required to make that page look like you want to, all the templates
are called like this:
include(mainfile.php); // needed before any else
include(logobanner.php);
include(navbar.php);
include(leftmenu.php);
// HERE'S YOUR PAGE'S CONTENT
include(rightmenu.php);
include(copyright.php);
I'm using this schema every since I found it, 'cause it is teaching me A
LOT and is very handy when I need to change something like the header of
footer of a hole site.
Hope this helps you.

Asunto: [PHP] Can I use a template with this site?
Hi All, Hope you are all well.
I am coding a website for a client and they involve a series of files:
logobanner.php
navbar.php
leftmenu.php
main.php
rightmenu.php
copyright.php
These are all just simple HTML files which are placed in a Global dir
apart
from main.php which is in the same dir as the index.php file. Is there
a
way
where I can have one index.php file which calls all the Global files
and
only the relevant main.php file? Kind of like a simple template
system?
For example at the moment I have this for my dir pattern:
/global/
-logobanner.php
-navbar.php
-leftmenu.php
-rightmenu.php
-copyright.php
/home/
-index.php
-main.php
/news/
-index.php
-main.php
When /news/index.php is called, all the global files are called along
with
the main.php that is in the News dir, the same for all the others in
their
respective dirs.
Am I overlooking an important function or script that can do this
without
being too complicated?
Please let me know, Ian.
