This article contains exercises for Week Five (MGDP2060).

This exercise demonstrates

In your Local Root Folder, create a folder named include.

In this exercise folder, create a web page named index.php.

Follow the web page standards.

In this folder, create two new documents, named:

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.php for 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 footer element (see Semantic HTML), it goes in footer.php

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>
