php and css

Hi all,

I'm relatively new to PHP and was wondering something. If I create a header, footer or nav bar that is a div, should the div be applied in the .php include file (i.e. - footer.php) or should the div be placed in the home page or template page and just bring in the text or images. So I guess I wondering if their is a proper way to apply php to css and visa versa. It seems like it would be easiest to layout the page / divs where I want them and then place include files with information inside of their respective div. I just didn't know what standard practices are...Sorry, but most of my sites have either been css/html or flash and even something as simple as a server side include is new to me.

I'm not sure that I understand, but usually as far as pulling in information goes, you would do something like this:

PHP Code:


<?php

include('file.php');



echo <<< END

    <html>

<head>

    <title>$title</title>

</head>

<body>

    <div>$body</div>

</body>

    </html>

END;



?>

But you can also do this:

PHP Code:


<?php

$title = '<title>Hello</title>';

$body = '<div>Hello</div>';



echo <<< END

    <html>

<head>

    $title

</head>

<body>

    $body

</body>

    </html>

END;



?>

It mostly depends on how you are creating the page. The best way, I would say, is to put as much as you can in the main template and as little as you can in the vars or other files.
