LeonLatex Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I am about to set up a test site. When it comes to the HTML tags, where do you split each HTML file by it's tag's that you want to include in the index.php I know there is no standard about this, so it's up to each other how to do it. Like i am split it up in 3 files; header.php , main.php and footer.php. main is used for the sites content. In header.php i got: <!doctype html> <html lang='no' translate="yes"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> In main.php with the content i got: <body><?php .................content................ ?> etc And in footer.php i got: </body> </html> With this setup, I have never experienced any problems, but since you have a better understanding and are more experienced than me can tell me another way you are doing it, and why you do it that/your way?

requinix Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 The header/content/footer style is at least 10 years out of date. Templating is better. Approaches vary, but the point is that you have a single file containing the entire template for the page, and you insert content in the places it needs to go. <!doctype html> <html> <head> <title><?= $title ?></title> etc. </head> <body> <?= $body ?> </body> </html> If you don't want to render your output to strings, things like $title and $body can instead be functions that are called and output what they want directly.

I see. But I am an old man 😛 But at least I am using variables like $title But requinix, can you please tell me about this: <?= $body ?> Why have you replaced php with = after <? and then calling the body variable ?
