Hi,
i'm a total,and mean total newbie in PHP
I want to make a news system with a template system(like footer.php and header.php) but dont know how to,anyone who can help me?

Thx in advantage

    I you are totally new to php then you should really run through some tutorials, books, etc first. However, there are template systems ready built in the code library. This might give you a quick start but you really should start small if you are completely new to php.

      Well,I did read 2 books so i know the basics if thats what you mean

        If you are completly new to PHP, you should do some tutorial, get to know the basics (in pratice), learn to use a database (if you want that), etc.

        You should later sit down, take a piece of paper and draw the whole thing, name the files, database and the structures. All the files, function (classes ?), what they should do, how they should do it, etc, etc, so you got the the most of the 'site' properly thought through before coding it. This can be a big help in the end (at least for some) 🙂

        If you really wants a 'real' template system, you could look into Smarty.
        This is just one way of separating the presentation layer with the code layer if thats what you want.

        Just hit the forum whenever guidance is needed, but dont ask us to do 'your job'. Its hard work, but in the end, it's worth the reward. 😉

        Good Luck
