This article contains exercises for Week Five (MGDP2060).
This exercise demonstrates
- The include statement
- The header statement
Contents
Create folder
In your Local Root Folder, create a folder named include.
Create web page
In this exercise folder, create a web page named index.php.
Follow the web page standards.
In this folder, create two new documents, named:
-
header.php -
footer.php
Cut the upper portion of the HTML from index.php, and paste it in header.php.
- Which part to cut: Everything from the first line, through at least the
<body>, and then some more- How much more varies from case to case
- Use
header.phpfor the HTML which will (in later exercises) be shared between multiple different pages - Put your name in the header.php
header.php, because this is shared content across pages - Keep the exercise title (the words "Week Five Exercise", or whatever) in
index.php, because that content is specific to a single page
footer.php works much the same.
Cut the last part of index.php, and paste it in footer.php.
- This always varies from case to case
- Always put the closing tags for body and html in the
footer.php. - Put copyright statements and similar information in
footer.php - If you use the
footerelement (see Semantic HTML), it goes infooter.php
- Always put the closing tags for body and html in the
include statement
In index.php, enter the include statement twice, once each for header and footer, like this:
<?php
include ("header.php");
?>
</code>
And:
<code> <?php include ("footer.php"); ?> </code>
