[SOLVED] Dynamic Content Loader

[mattwal]

Hello everyone,

 

I am currently developing a blog site for myself. I've been looking into template engines but i'm not sure that's what I need?

 

Using the template system:

<?php // Index Page

// Define Page TITLE
define('TITLE', 'MWDesigns: Home');

// Address ERROR Handling
ini_set ('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting (E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

include ('./pages/functions.php');

require ('./assets/header.php');


// Sart of Main Content //

// End of Main Content //

require ('./asstes/footer.php');

?>

 

The main content area is the only part of my template that needs to change dynamically. I could just make multiple files and use include to import the right content file for each page. But this is not really working for me. I need to somehow figure out how to write a script that:

 

[*]Depending on what link is clicked. Load the page into the content area

[*]Only use as few files as necessary but can load many different content files

 

I'm still learning PHP and such I don't know how I could even go about this or if its worth looking into?

 

If anyone has any idea's or examples that might be usful I would really appreciate it. I'm not looking for a handout or code just given to me. I just need some guidance and a few examples to base it off of

Was gong to say use get, then i here the word content area,?

 

explain please.

The content area I'm speaking of is the main text, images, etc of my template. In other words the main bulk of information. E.G. You have a blog - the main content area is where it would show the title and post? 

 

Maby this would explain it better.

<?php // Index Page

// Define Page TITLE
define('TITLE', 'MWDesigns: Home');

// Define SECTION
define('SECTION', 'Frontpage');

// Define PAGE
define('PAGE', 'Blog Index');

// Address ERROR Handling
ini_set ('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting (E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// Include MySQL info
include ('./assets/connect.php');

// Include header information
require ('./assets/header.php');


// Sart of Main Content Area //
include ('./pages/content.php');
// End of Main Content //

//Include Footer information
require ('./assets/footer.php');

?>

You jumped in the deep end , Why not create your own templates m8.

thanks... I'm just gonna stick with with my current way of doing things. Really no need for template system.
