Cutting my XHTML page up and use a PHP Include??

xxll_martin_llxx · 10-13-2006, 10:42 AM

Hey!

Basically I have a valid XHTML 1.1 page with valid CSS (www.rbashots.hostmatrix.org)

I want to cut my page up into a few parts and use a php include so that if I want to change/edit my links or on one page have a different logo then I only have to change my file.

How do I determine how big each php include will be?

I've got a link to a picture of my site I've drawn on to show more clearly what I mean (Just follow the black lines)

If I was to do this does it mean my page becomes unvalidated, or is there a way to do this and keep the validation?

I'm not sure what your asking, but php wont effect the validity of the pages.

OK That's good it won't effect the validity of it.

What I'm trying to say is that if I made 50 pages with the code I have now on my index.html then I added all my information in each of the 50 pages and I wanted to add another link to the menu I would then have to go through 50 pages and add it manually. WELL I don't want to.

I want to cut the menu bar out, and use a php include to add it in so that if I wanted to add another link I could add it to 'that' file (where the php include links to) and it would update on every page.

How do I customize how the include goes? What code to keep my page the same do I use so it doesn't get all mucked up. Do I just take the bits of code I want in the include and place it in the .php file and then it will work JUST LIKE THAT?

Thanks

Yep, just put the bit of code you want in the include file

AHa!!

It actually worked flaw-lessly for me!

I do need one bit of help though.

My title/logo area is made up of CSS and I want to cut that up also so that I can have the "Page Title" and "Second Title" on the left (how it is now) and then if I want to add a logo or a google ad or something in to the RIGHT HANDSIDE (Where all the space is) at a later time using the php include how do I edit the CSS so that I can do this??

well this part:

HTML Code:

<h2>Favorite Links</h2>

<ul class="menublock">

<li><a href="http://www.redbluearmy.com">Red Blue Army </a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.shotsweb.co.uk">Shots Web </a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.theshots.co.uk">The Shots.co.uk</a> 

<a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer"><img src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-xhtml11" alt="Valid XHTML 1.1" height="31" width="88" /></a> 
<a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/">
<img style="border:0;width:88px;height:31px" src="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/images/vcss" alt="Valid CSS!" /></a>

</li>

</ul>

<div class="small box">&nbsp;</div>


</div>

should be somewhere in your php include files (assuming you sliced/included it correctly/smartly) so just add in the right <div>s in there with the classes in the css.

Do you mean add the <div>s into my index.php or into each include file? At the moment I have the div's in my index.php and then placed the php include between the div's and it's working fine.

I just need help on doing the top area with my CSS and doing the right hand side bit of it...
