hi
i create file with extension php. and i have also one index.php file
i would like to append its (index.php) code to newly created file.
is it possible
thank you for attention

Member Avatar for diafol

Yes.
Sounds to me as if you're trying to create a template?
file_get_contents() and file_put_contents() are nice functions.

Member Avatar for azegurb

i tried this fucntions but nothink i got,
can you explain it on my code pls
thanks for attention

well, I know a set of functions that work for sure, not sure they are the best method, but they work on copying any file content from server to another even.

google Curl functions, you will find done examples.

If you are trying to produce templates, could I suggest you try a different method? Actually hard-coding 'common markup/code' into every file is not templating. This is just replication/duplication. Don't do it! If you need to change the main template, you need to change all the files.


You need to put your common bits into files.

Example
For common dtd/head area/top body tag/navigation/side bars etc (stuff that appears before the main content) - put them into a file called 'top.php' and save under a folder called 'includes' (could be anything, though). Do the same for anything that comes below the main content - put it into 'bottom.php', also under the 'includes' folder.

Create another folder called 'content'.

When you create a new file, two files are created - one main file in the root directory and an identically names one under the contents folder, e.g.

/about_us.php

which could have this format:

<?php
$title = "About us ...";
$keywords = "about us, company details, contact info ...";
$description = "This is about us - the company ...";
include("includes/top.php");
$page = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
include("content/$page");
include("includes/bottom.php");
?>

The first three variables can be added via textboxes.

/content/about_us.php

<div id="content">
  <p>This is about us</p>
 ...
</div>

Your top.php could look something like this:

...any common php functions / DB connection code etc...
...DTD...
<html ...>
<head>
<title><?php echo $title;?></title>
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo $keywords;?>" />
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo $description;?>" />
....

Sorry, getting carried away. Suffice to say, use include files to make a simple templating system - don't use duplication - it can't be maintained very easily.
