Seperate the content and the PHP

[yakabod]

I installed this script.  The script is called wFAQ 1.0.  The file that is being called is a .php that contains the content of the script.  How can I seperate the content and the PHP? I want to have the content on an .htm and have the php seperate.  Since the content is "in" the php file, this is my results:

<?

include "faq_config.php";

// SHOW ADMIN HEADER
echo $admin_info[header];

// IF USER HAS CLICKED ON A QUESTION
if(isset($_GET['q_id'])) { $q_id = $_GET['q_id']; }

if($q_id != "") {
$question_query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM faq_questions WHERE q_id='$q_id'");
$question = mysql_fetch_assoc($question_query);
if(mysql_num_rows($question_query) == 0) {
echo "<h2>An error has occurred:</h2>
You are attempting to view an FAQ question that does not exist.
";
}

echo "
<h2>$question[question]</h2>
$question[answer]
<form action='faq.php' method='POST'>
<input type='submit' value='Back to FAQ'>
</form>
";

} else {

// IF USER IS LOOKING AT THE MAIN PAGE
$totalcount = 0;
$faq_questions = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM faq_questions");

$faqcat = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM faq_categories ORDER BY c_order");
$num_of_kitties = mysql_num_rows($faqcat);
while($faqcat_info = mysql_fetch_assoc($faqcat)) {
$questions = mysql_query("SELECT q_id, c_id, question FROM faq_questions WHERE c_id='$faqcat_info[c_id]' ORDER BY q_order");


// SHOW CATEGORY NAME, IF IT CONTAINS QUESTIONS AND CATEGORY NAMES ARE TURNED ON
if(mysql_num_rows($questions) > 0) {
if($admin_info[showcats] == 1) {
echo "
<h2>$faqcat_info[category]</h2>
";
}
}


// SHOW QUESTIONS
$count = 0;
while($question = mysql_fetch_assoc($questions)) {
$totalcount++;
$count++;

// SHOW NUMBERS IF ENABLED
if($admin_info[shownumbers] == 1) {
if($admin_info[showcats] == 1) { echo "$count. "; } else { echo "$totalcount. "; }
}

echo "<a href='faq.php?q_id=$question[q_id]'>$question[question]</a><br>";
}


// ADD SPACE AFTER THIS CATEGORY
if(mysql_num_rows($questions) != 0 AND $admin_info[showcats] == 1) {
echo "<br>";
}

}
}





// SHOW HTML FOOTER
echo $admin_info[footer];



?>

 

Thank you.

one idea would be to setup a html file with some tags ie

[counter]

then read it in via file_get_contents

then use str_replace to replace the tags with the values from the php script

I personally don't seperate the php from html code. That is i dont separate it entirely. I first create a html page with a layout then i deside what parts of that page should be dynamic and that's where i place the php to reduce. The php code even more on my layout page I use php classes. and the use of classes might be the way you want to go. seperating php code completely with file_get_contents and str_replace from html isn't really nessescarry unless your building a CMS which really requires it
