Dividing sites

teguh123

Hi,

Say, I have a site.

I want to do the following:

Say I have a typical website

bla bla bla (header)

bla bla

</body>

bla bla bla

Basically I want to divide the site into 3 part

all the part before body is in $header
all the part inside the body is in $body
all the part after is in $footer

I think the <body bla bal> should be part of the header and the </body> should be part of the footer

So $body would be like body.innerhtml

How do I do that?

If the whole html page is in a string, how do I do that? Regular expression?

Basically I want to split a page into 3 parts

header
body
footer

How do I do so with regular expression?

this is an already up site and you just want to read the info into variables?

if so, yes, you can read the whole file in as a string, then use regex to get everything before, everything inside, then everything after the body tag...

Cool.

Say $content contain the whole html of the site.

how do I split $content into 3 the way I wanted

Not sure why you're wanting to use variables. What I do is use php and have a header.php file that has all the header html and footer.php that has all the footer html. Then, on the regular page I include them like so:

(body html)

<?php include 'footer.php'; ?>
</body>
</html>

And if you want to use php variables in the main html, you can put the body html in an echo:

<html>
<body>
<?php
include 'header.php';

echo "(body html {$phpvariable} more body html)";

include 'footer.php';
?>
</body>
</html>

he is talking about pulling in information from somewhere else, not creating his own files from scratch utilizing includes... unless i horribly misread the thread, which has been known to happen

You;re a genius.

I know it can be done by using regular expression. It's just that I am not good at creating my own regular expression.

Hmmm... Let me try

preg_match ("'(.?<body )(.?)(</body>.*?)'si", $content , $matches);
$header=$matches[1];
$body=$matches[2];
$footer=$matches[3];

Will this work?

How do I ensure that when matching for <body, the regex do not match case?

stolzyboy

i believe /i negates case sensitivity...

and that looks like it'll work...

Probably going to need to add the /m modifier as well. It would kinda of hard to imagine any source page typed out in a single line. Just my two cents... 😛
