Looking for a Generator code

[Urika]

I want to make a layout generator, but I am not sure how to code it. I know I need 2 pages, which I have. Is there any code out there to make a generator?

Not quite sure what you mean, but I've written template-based html generators before. What exactly are you trying to do?

I am trying to create my own layout generator, but I would need a code for it and I don't know that code

This is very complex and you need to learn a lot about, well, everything. You need a server side language like PHP to handle the overall functions. Then you need to use HTML to actually create the template, probably using CSS as well.--- in fact, not just using, but generating using PHP (or CGI, ASP, ...).

To be completely honest, if you aren't sure where to start, then this might be too hard right now. It's a complex process and requires a lot of ability with a server side language and also figuring out how to generate valid html.

Do you have a specific part that you need advice on? If we know more like what language you want to use, etc., we might be able to help more. For now it's just a general question about a very complex topic.

I also have no clue about how involved a system you want to create. "Generator" can mean anything from a script that spits out html markup for a single, specific layout with a customized sentence to a massively complicated CMS that allows you to drag-and-drop, integrate javascript and php functions into page functionality, and so forth.

So, we really do need to know what you're actually trying to accomplish before we can offer any suggestions.

Correct. If you do want something very limited such as a single layout that has a changing background color (or even many changing colors) that might be possible to create without much experience or perhaps someone here can help you. But if you want a lot of controls, it will get very complex and won't be possible without a lot of experience and no one will want to do that for you for free-- but you can post in the paid help section if you'd like to hire someone to build this for you. Or take your time learning PHP (or another language) and you can do it yourself.
