Developing PHP Website

[rp2006]

Hey all :)

[i]No doubt i have posted this in the wrong area! I am new here, but not to forums, developing websites, running forums etc... so dont lash out at me![/i]

Right, I would like to know how you develop websites using PHP. I am looking at various ways to do it, e.g. making a template file, and loading the content into it but i cant get the content to load in the {%CONTENT%} tags in the template file. I want an efficient way to update the raw HTML files with out touching the Template and messing up the style.

Any way, give feedback, comments etc.. how you make your PHP websites.

Cheers!

Way too open ended. My advice, is for you to run some through some tutorials before even considering tackling something like that.

I have read many PHP tutorials and i have a pretty good understanding, but its just this one thing which is confusing me.

I want an efficient way to update various pages on my website, but make it so i can ideally change the template file if needed.

Any way i have considered it using 'include' to import menus, page properties and then finally content. but i wanted to know if this is the way professionals do it, and how you lot would make a website from scratch!
