I have been very fond of this method that I developed over the last few
years.
Lets say you have a site with three pages. Index, about us, and contact
us.
I create index.php like this
<?
function output() {
?>
html stuff here
<?
}
include "template.php";
?>
About us and contact us look the same
Template then just has
<?
session starting
any security stuff here
?>
HTML Stuff
<?
output();
?>
More html
Then changing the look of the site is just in that one file. And things
like webtrends still give accurate results.

Subject: Favortire Page template Structure
I was interested in seeing if anyone has a favorite way of structuring
their PHP pages? For instance, I found one example where pages were laid
out as follows:
Everything was based off of index.php and parameters were submitted
through the hidden fields or through an action variable on the url
querystring.
Index.php
--------- Begin example index.php ---------- <?php
/*
* Common include files here
* Database connection initialization includes here
* Security includes here
*/
/*
* define local functions here
*/
/*
* Initialize globals variables
* and constants here
*/
/*
* Define a main function here
*/
Function main(){
/*
* Initialize local variables
* and constants here
*/
/* capture action variable on url querystring */
/* do something based on action */
}
?>
/* HTML Code here */
-----8<-- End Example --->8--
Any thoughts on this? I'm still kinda new at PHP and wanted to learn the
best way to structure my code from the git-go. :)
Thanks in advance,
Jim
