rnmcd Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 What is the term(s) for a website design 'technology' where you only have to edit one file and it will change the header and footer area (for example, logo and the links at the bottom of each page) for all pages?

rnmcd Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 It is generally called a 'template' So is the way it works there is one template and all 'global' changes are made via that template? Is this done in a specific type of coding or programming language? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 You may want to read though this tutorial which shows how to use php to create a web site template and how to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnmcd Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 Thanks for that link. It cleared up some things for me but now I'm having some trouble differentiating php from SSI(server-side includes). It seems they both can have one file that contains code that repeats on several webpages, right? Or do you need to use SSI with php to have the code repeat?

TCH-Bruce Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I would choose PHP over SSI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnmcd Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 Which of the TCH forums do they discuss php the most? I should probably post in that one instead of this one, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 PHP questions generally go in Scripting Talk forum. But if it's web page layout then here is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
