PHP Includes!
Alright, PHP Includes make handling your website soooo much easier.
Ex:
You have a bunch of pages filled with content.
Someone applies for affiliation or you add a new section.
That means you have to go through every page and add one measly affiliate or section. =[
Well doesn't that suck.
Thats when PHP Includes comes to the rescue.
Okay, so first you'll need to make a header.php file.
The header file is where you will put your title, sidebar, stylesheet, and whatever else that would ever need updating.
Not the main content (such as your about the owner, etc.)
This is what my header file looks like.
Then save it like this on
Notepad.
Make sure you save it as All files.
Now time to make the footer.php file.
All you have to do is open up a new document on Notepad and put this code in.
Then save it as footer.php
Now you have to go through every page you've made and rename the file extension to .php instead of .html
Now take off all the stuff you put in your header file off of all your pages except header.php and footer.php while renaming the file extension to .php
Now you'll need to add this code above your main content, but make sure its
Above < div id = "whateveryounamedthis" >
<?php include('header.php'); ?>
Then put this code after your main content, but make sure its Below '< / div >'
<?php include('footer.php'); ?>
If you need an example, this is what my "about the owner" page looks like.
