Help With Header

[gamble]

I have decided to upgrade my game in ways making it neater and hopefully easier to use.

What I am wanting to know is how could i make a header.php that "does all the work" for example I post the following code

<?
require('header.php');
//content
print"Blah Blah Blah";
?>

 

That code also does footer. Basically what i am trying to do is something like Mccodes just 1 page for the whole template.

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks In Advance,

gamble

<?php
class Template {
   public function __construct() {
       ob_start();
       return;
   }
   public function __destruct() {
       $content = ob_get_contents();
       ob_end_clean();
       ob_start();
       $this->getHeader();
       $this->getMenu();
       echo $content;
       $this->getFooter();
       ob_end_flush();
       return;
   }

   private function getHeader() {
       //Head things (doctype and such)
   }
   private function getMenu() {
       //Menu
   }
   private function getFooter() {
       //Footer things (closing body/html tags and such)
   }
}

$template = new Template();

<?php
require_once ('path/to/file');
echo 'Some content here';

Spudinski (well I think it was him :cool:), showed us this simple technique a while back, perhaps it may be of some use to you.

Back on:

There are certainly multiple ways of doing this; a little time spent

researching front-end controllers will easily yield profitable results;

a few sites sadly do suggest the use of the switch() statement,

something that McCodes (Redux) incorporated imo mistakenly, a

sanitized controller name and file_exists() is often all that is

needed.

I'm pretty sure I've even seen a half decent example here, from

a while back; if not my mistake. Easy enough to rustle one up

though. Assuming the ability to access and write a .htaccess

file, the mod_rewrite extension will give you the ability to direct

every request through to a single dispatcher;

(Caveat) Static/Media files really should be served by something

like nginx or similar high speed front-end; you don't want every

little request for css, ico, gif, png, jpg, js etc going through there!

This freakin' reply box is killing me (slowly but surely) -.-

Sod it, no one else is staying on topic.

Spelling;

It would take too long to list, but I would suggest using spell check before posting if you are going to attempt to call the kettle black, while dressed as a pot.

EDIT:

You know, I may actually walk to the local 24 hour shop and grab one

Well you're just freakin' lucky, to live quite close to a 24 hour shop, unlike some of us. :(

EDIT 2:

I predict post deletion in 3.2.1... :P

Jog? Run? Drive? You know it would be worth the walk, don't you? :D

Well it damn sure is tempting!

Back in a moment.

Edit Too, in that context, is correct.

Darn it, I've had it wrong all these years, my bad.

@SRB: Excellent idea!

@SRB2: On par, with your first idea pal.
