I'm trying to convert Starlit Illuminations to PHP, but I'm puzzled, and I can't figure out what to do.
My question is, how do I change the content for every page if each page i make links to the same two files for every page? Then the content on every page would be the smae. I hope I'm amking sense.
Here' my header.php file:
Code: <HTML>
<HEAD>
<link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href="style.css">
<title>starlit illuminations...s p r i n g s b e g i n n i n g s</title>
<meta name="Title" content="Starlti Illuminations"> <meta name="Author" content="Megan Schmidt"> <meta name="Description" content="A site with a little bit of everything, but mostly art"> <meta name="Keywords" content="Art, HTML, CSS, Writing, Photoshop, Graphics, Media, Everything, Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings"> <meta name="Generator" content="Notepad"> <meta name="Language" content="English"> <meta name="Expires" content="January 1, 2010"> <meta name="Copyright" content="© Megan Schmidt 2005"> <meta name="Designer" content="Megan Schmidt"> <meta name="Publisher" content="Megan Schmidt">
</HEAD>

</HTML> And here's my index.php file: Code: <? include("/home/fantasyw/public_html/illuminations/header.php"); ?> <? include("/home/fantasyw/public_html/illuminations/footer.php"); ?>
So how do I change the content on every page?

Hey Ellethwen
You don't want to have all you content in your footer php file. The idea of what you're trying to do is just have the stuff that's the same on each page in your header and footers.
Your header's fine as it is but all your footer needs in it is:
Code: </div>
</BODY>
</HTML> Then all the other stuff on your index.php page goes in between the header and footer tags like this: Code: <? include("/home/fantasyw/public_html/illuminations/header.php"); ?>

<? include("/home/fantasyw/public_html/illuminations/footer.php"); ?> And this is the same for each page. You are basically making up pages as normal except they have a .php extention instead of .html and instead of all your layout coding you just have these: Code: <? include("/home/fantasyw/public_html/illuminations/header.php"); ?> <? include("/home/fantasyw/public_html/illuminations/footer.php"); ?>
I hope this helps.

^ What she said.
Additionally:
If your content page is in the same folder as "header.php" and "footer.php" then you don't need the full path. You can just do this:
Code: <? include("header.php"); ?> <!-- Content --> <? include("footer.php"); ?>
Some people like to use "require" instead of "include". With include, if it can't find header.php/footer.php, it just won't show them, and visitors might not even know there was supposed to be a header/footer. With require, it will show an error message instead, which might get people to contact you about it faster so you can fix it.
