PHP template script

TwiztedFake · 09-04-2005, 09:55 AM

I come up with this after getting really tired of updating multiple files when ever I wanted to make a site wide layout change. It does require use of PHP, which means your pages have to be .php instead of .htm, .html

Its is a bit of code that allows you to create one layout file and load all of your content into that layout.

Code:

<?php
$config["path"] = "LOCATION OF YOUR CONTENT TO LOAD";
$config["ext"] = EXTENSION OF THE CONTENT FILES EX. .php, .htm, .txt";

if (!isset($_REQUEST["page"])){
    $page = "main";
} else {
    $page = $_REQUEST["page"];
    $page = urldecode($page);
    $page = trim($page);
    $page = strip_tags($page);
    if (substr_count($page,"..") > 0 || substr_count($page,"~") > 0){
        $page = "main";
    }
}
$full = $config["path"] . $page . $config["ext"];
if (!is_file($full) || is_dir($full) || !file_exists($full)){
    die ("Sorry, the page you are looking for is gone. Please email the webmaster with the URL currently in your address bar so that it can be corrected. Thanks!");
} else {
    require_once($full);
}
?>

To use this simply design your layout and place this where you want you content to load. Create your content files.

Now your links will look like this:

Code:

<a href="index.php?page=filename>Content</a>

Instead of having to search through all the lines of code to update content you can keep the content and layout seperate. Just a note with how I posted the code a file called 'main' will load when the page is opened for the first time. You can chage this by editing the line $page = "main"; to reflect the filename you would like to load when first accessed.

its not working for me, this is what ive got

Code:

<?php
$config["path"] = "http://barkus.f2s.com/sbnew";
$config["ext"] = ".php";

if (!isset($_REQUEST["page"])){
    $page = "main";
} else {
    $page = $_REQUEST["page"];
    $page = urldecode($page);
    $page = trim($page);
    $page = strip_tags($page);
    if (substr_count($page,"..") > 0 || substr_count($page,"~") > 0){
        $page = "main";
    }
}
$full = $config["path"] . $page . $config["ext"];
if (!is_file($full) || is_dir($full) || !file_exists($full)){
    die ("Sorry, the page you are looking for is gone. Please email the webmaster with the URL currently in your address bar so that it can be corrected. Thanks!");
} else {
    require_once($full);
}
?>

i added a file called main.php which is the content that i want to show up on the first page of the site (index.php)

On this line: $config["path"] = "http://barkus.f2s.com/sbnew";

You need to add a / after sbnew and that should fix the problem.

Might be useful but i did it a much, well easier way?

I just included my header(layout), content, then footer. I might try this one in the future. Nice script

Yes that works too but then you have multiple files to edit when making a layout change. With this your layout is one page which loads the content when called upon. All content is stored in seperate files (simple text and formating tags ex: h1, h2, p, table, etc.) away from the layout.
