Layouts in PHP

[ShaDyPanTha50]

I am wondering if in PHP it is possible to make a page (for a website) and use the layout for that page (like link formations, ect..) for every single page without actually putting all the code you want to change on every page (kind of like the way a stylesheet works but instead of styling i'm talking about content). I have heard that you can do this but I am not sure.

Sure you can.

First, start by making a base layout in one page. Then separate it into a header.php and a footer.php

Then for your pages, just add the content but include the headers and footers.

Example: Create an aboutme.php page.

<? include('header.php'); ?>

my about me content goes here. my about me content goes here. my about me content goes here. my about me content goes here. my about me content goes here. my about me content goes here. 

<?php include('footer.php'); ?>

Include files really help separate the content from the layout format. 🙂

Wow that is easier than I thought it would be. Thanks a lot for the help.
