Hi Ian,
I don't know if I'm getting the hole idea of what you're looking for,
but here's something. I'm using a schema that was written by Ying Zhang
for the "myMarket" PHP application which is like this:
a) One "main file" which holds all the site's configurations, like DB
settings and golbals (OO Script). It also contains an object that will
call the scripts locations:
[snip]
/* define a generic object */
class object {};
/* setup the configuration object */
$CFG = new object;
$CFG->dbhost = "localhost";
$CFG->dbname = "dbname";
$CFG->dbuser = "dbuser";
$CFG->dbpass = "dbpassword";
$CFG->wwwroot = "/directory";
$CFG->dirroot = "/directory";
$CFG->templatedir = "$CFG->dirroot/templates"; // Here's your standard
files
$CFG->libdir = "$CFG->dirroot/lib"; // Lib for DB & custom handling
$CFG->imagedir = "$CFG->wwwroot/images";
[snip]
b) When every page is called (i.e. /news/index.php), all the files
required to make that page look like you want to, all the "templates"
are called like this:
include("mainfile.php"); // needed before any else
include("logobanner.php");
include("navbar.php");
include("leftmenu.php");
// HERE'S YOUR PAGE'S CONTENT
include("rightmenu.php");
include("copyright.php");
I'm using this schema every since I found it, 'cause it is teaching me A
LOT and is very handy when I need to change something like the header of
footer of a hole site.
Hope this helps you.
