The Fast Templates and Smarty and all the ones I've seen all over generally require you to splice your html layout and then have the php reassemble it. What if you didn't want to do this? What I really want to do is create one php page that contains all the layout and everything in it but no content. I want to have all the content for the various pages of my site stored as html in various independent text files. What I wanted to be able to do is have the one php page work in a way where it uses the link name you click as input (lets say you click "about") and generates a new page (called say index.php?about) so that it inserts the text from the about.txt into where you told it to in the index.php file (the body). This would by far be the most efficient way for my site to operate, but I really don't know how to make it happen. Any advice? The more detailed the better!
Thanks,
Mike
