How to make your own PHP template script
First, let us understand the varibles in both the main .html page, and in the php scripts.
In this example <% main %> is the varible used in the main HTML template.
Next, the varibles in the index.php file are as follows:
1. $main
2. $content
3. $fd
4. $filename
5. $template
6. $action
The functions and commands within the index.php are as follows:
• function template();
• function home();
• fopen
• fclose
• global
• stripslashes
• eregi_replace
• echo
• switch
• default:
• break:
This type of scripting will make outputed varible $main match up with HTML <% main %>. The result is that you can output just about anything within a template.
Now, create three files (named below).
Filename: theme.htm
<html><body>
<table cellpadding="0" spacepadding="0" border="0">
<tr><td valign=top align=left>
<% main %>
</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Filename: index.php
<?
function template($content) {
global $main;
$filename = "theme.htm";
if(!$fd = fopen($filename, "r")) {
$error = 1;
}
else {
$template = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename));
fclose ($fd);
$template = stripslashes($template);
$template = eregi_replace("<% main %>", "$main", $template);
$template = eregi_replace("<% content %>", "$content", $template);
echo "$template";
} }
function home() {
global $main;
include ("test.php");
template("$data");
}
switch($action) {
default: // default switch
home();
break;
}
?>
Filename: test.php
<?
$main .= 'This is a test of the emergency boradcast system.<br>This is only a test';
?>
Notice the test.php file having the $main .=. This would be normally an echo command, but echo is not longer needed, since it would not stream through the index.php in the <% main %> area of the template HTML file.
You can add more than one varible such as $main or <% main %>.
