I am trying to move the doctype, head, scripts etc, and opening body tags to a header.php include file. I am setting up php variables for page title etc.
All pages use the same scripts except one which needs an extra script.
I can't work out how to do this?
How can I add an extra tag to a page which uses a header template?
Thanks for any help!
Simplest solution:
the script that needs the extra bit:
$show_extra = TRUE;
include('header.php');
header.php
<html>
<head>
if (isset($show_extra) && ($show_extra)) {
... output extra bits
}
</head>
etc...
<? if(...) { ?><script>...</script><?php } ?>You can have a header($array_scripts) function, that display your header and all the scripts inside.
Let's say your scripts are CSS files, and your files are organized that way :
/www
---- /css
---- script1.css
---- script2.css
---- index.php
---- header.php
On your page index.php :
include_once("header.php");
$scripts = array("script1.css", "script2.css");
header($scripts);
// Rest of the code : <body>
And in your header.php file :
function header($array_scripts)
{
// display everything, like <!doctype HTML>, <head> tag...
foreach($array_scripts as $script)
{
echo '<script src="css/'.$script.'">';
}
// close tags like </head>
}
You can even give your title, description, ... as parameters to your header function. For example, if your header function has this prototype :
header($title, $array_scripts);
You will be able to display the title in header.php with:
// <head> ...
echo '<title>' . $title . '</title>';
