confused with php ><;;

ruri

ok.. this is the site i'm making
http://lonesomenight.shyper.com/main.html

currently i'm using iframe to do the layout..
my question is that is it better for me to use php and why..
and if i want to change my layout to php how do i do it?
I've read through couple simple tutorials where they give tutorials similar to this

http://www.daydreamgraphics.com/tutorials/list.php?action=list&cat_id=2&id=31

but I'm still confused about where to put my layout, my css code, and do i still use iframe and if so, which part does it go into :queasy:

thanks in advance

Frames stink... nah thats an old topic... 😃

You can use include() function in PHP as an alternative to frames.
You should change your pages into rows of table. you would end up doing something like

<?php
include("header.html");
include("content.html");
include("footer.html");
?>

The output of the above script would be one single page... than three different pages...

For a short note: Frames stink coz.. No Bookmarking... User is confused to see the same URL thru out... Search Engines results become messy for your page... Varies w/ browsers... there is lot more to it 😉

Good Luck

umm.. ok. . i'm trying out the php includes ..
but say that i have the layout, is there a way to make the include with the content appear ontop of the layout?

from wat I understood, u r saying that u have a HTML layout and you want to include some dynamic content into that... YES you can.. change your HTML layout file to PHP file(just rename from .html to .php) and insert you include() command where u feel rite... something like

layout.php

<html>
<body>
<table>

layout

fasdf
sd
f

<?php
include("youcontent.html");
?>

continue layout
