PHP Question - Overclock.net

MikeEnIke · 06-15-05

Hey I'm building a new website for hardware reviews and at the moment using a free server host eventually hope to get a domain and hosting though. My question is I am using this code for the main page (not near finished just started today)

Code:

<html>
 <head>
 <title>Tech Guru - The best reviews on the web</title>
 </head>
 <body>
 <php? include ('layout.php');

And for the layout.php I am going to add a sidebar link set and a header with and image I will make. Now I will be using table and I was wondering if I did that how would I add information to the main table. IE: When I'm on home have it say welcome to blah blah... Would I have to go about this another way for if I just enter text will it go in that main window or what?

I am afraid I am just not following your question, but I will try. It seems to me that you would just code that as plain HTML underneath your include.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Tech Guru - The best reviews on the web</title>
</head>
<body>
<php? include ('layout.php'); ?>
Welcome message
</body>
</html>

A lot of this depends on how your layout is setup. I usually create both header and footer files.

Code:

<php? include (header.php'); ?>
Text
<php? include (footer.php'); ?>

That way you can more easily change the entire layout of the site. Many of the sites I have done utilize different skins by changing the header and footer includes.

Thanks I didn't notice that, I usually just use <? but not every implementation allows that. Thats what I get for copy/paste without thinking.

<td valign="top,bottom" align="left,right,center" .....

obviously use only one of each, or better yet use style sheets

create a file called default.css and add this line in your <head> tag

<Link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Default.css">

as to the contents of the css here is a start

Code:

body {
 font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
 color:#000000;
 margin-left: 0px;
 margin-top: 0px;
 margin-right: 0px;
 margin-bottom: 0px;
 background-color:#FFFFFF; 
 font-size:8pt;
}
 
table
{
 font-size:8pt;
 padding:0px;
 margin:0px;
}
 
td
{
  text-align: left;
 vertical-align: top;
 
}

It is very easy once you get the hang of it. I can help if you would like. If not that is cool too.
