How to load page template and put content into? - php

Question

Maybe it's duplicate but I don't know how it calls and cannot find. I need to load a php-file (template of my block) and set content into it.
For example, template file:
<?php include_once 'boot.inc' ?>
<div class="widget">
<div class="widget-title">I need to put title here</div>
<div class="widget-body">I need to put content here</div>
</div>
And php function to insert new block with this template:
function nm_new_block($title, $content) {};
Can I do it in php?

Answer 1

1° Solution: You need to change you code into:
<?php include_once 'boot.inc' ?>
<?php include_once 'template.php' ?>
<div class="widget">
<div class="widget-title"><?php echo $title; ?></div>
<div class="widget-body"><?php echo $content; ?></div>
</div>
In template.php file you must have something like this:
<?php
$title="My Title";
$content="My Content";
?>
And you don't need function for this cause variables are stored in template.php
2° Solution: You need to implement a function to retrieve variables from external source:
<?php include_once 'boot.inc' ?>
<?php include 'functions.php' ?>
<div class="widget">
<div class="widget-title"><?php echoTitle(); ?></div>
<div class="widget-body"><?php echoContent(); ?></div>
</div>
In functions.php
<?php
function echoTitle(){
$title = 'Add code to get title here';
echo $title;
}
function echoContent(){
$content = 'Add code to get content here';
echo $content;
}
Replace Add code to get title here and Add code to get content here with code to get contents ex:
$title = $_POST['title']; supposing you want get title by a submission form
