PHP->HTML or HTML->PHP

DevilDog#1 · #1 03-25-2005, 09:16 AM

Hi,

I was just wondering how do most people start out with their site?

a. HTML and then add PHP

OR

b. Use PHP to create HTML?

Thanks for replying.

Hey Tacoma.

So in the first situation one would be creating webpage "on the fly", right?

Erm no... what I ment is that any code in php, which please note you cant see in a browser, apache and php interpeter converts it into html text for you to see, but is still a dynamic script, dont let me confuse here

So you saying

PHP Code:


			
<?php HTML CODE HERE ?>

Most people start HTML > PHP because they find that HTML can't do the facy stuff.

Scott · #9 03-25-2005, 03:03 PM

I think he means when you start coding the site after you know html and php, which do you build first, the layout or start the php code..

To post HTML inside of PHP it has to be like

PHP Code:


			
<?php 

echo ("<html><img=\"yousuck.gif\"></html>");?>

JonM · #15 03-27-2005, 10:25 AM

no not exactly

you can do it like this:

echo("<html><a href=\"link\">link</a></html>");
echo"<html><a href=\"link\">link</a></html>";
echo'<html><a href="link">link</a></html>'; //this one works with out the fancy \'s ...

I'll throw this into the echo mix:

[PHP]

echo <<<END
Use html code to your hearts content 
You can even use $variables too!
END;
[PHP]

That is why you use a template system. It keeps your html seperate from your php.

You can completly re-write the php code behind your website and not touch 1 bit of the html layout.

PHP then HTML

If not, then i just mix them, a bit php there and a bit html there and maybe a bit more html there to then go back to php

OK how do we do Template thing? I didn't see any options in DWMX. Is there a separate software? Or are you just saying to divide stuff in components and then plug them together, i.e. templated?

IcIshoot · #19 03-28-2005, 04:37 PM

I use this one: phemplate

Check the PHP 101 thread. I posted a basic example.

I learned about phemplate because that is what babstats uses.

You can make a theme for babstats with out having to touch the php coding. All you have to do is keep the variables so that the php script knows where to put the out put.
