I have 16 Documents with a php include in them to include a php template like this:
<?php include("templates/template.php"); ?>
Inside that template there is a little bit of PHP which finds the document name and prints it. The problem is that for the php document to be included its PHP is processed (Naturally because its PHP), this means that the document name finder is finding the name of the template and not the main document. What I am trying to do is have 16 PHP Files which act as a front end and are accessed by the User, these files include the Template file which finds the name of the accessed file and pulls html code from another file into the body of the template. This means that the content for the file is external to the Structure of the site and allows a level of simplicity for basic editing (I.E. The client can edit their website). As I stated above my method has a simple problem what I am trying to figure out is if anyway knows how to do this.The Template file is pasted below

Many Thanks in advance.
Template should be a piece of code, which takes parameters and based on that generates output.
The solution for this problem could be, that in that accessed file, you declare a variable with appropriate name and pass it to the template. There you will have each page differentiated as requested.
Solution:
Magic constant __FILE__ holds name of the included file, if used in include. So the solution is to move php code to the file, from which you are running the include.

I'm trying to move a website from one host to another. Everything is going great except there is HTML code at the end of every db dump I do (via phpmyadmin. The site is leaving GoDaddy.) As a result, I cannot import the .sql file to a database on DigitalOcean. If I remove the code, the dump works but the site doesn't. Also, I did not create the site. I'm just moving it.
Here's what's at the end of the .sql file:

This comes after a very number of "INSERT INTO" commands. The last of which is no different than the rest.
There is probably an error that occured while exporting the database. You can either put that HTML-Code into a text file (.html) and open it with your browser to see what it contains or just go through the code.
You will find these lines in the code:

<code>

</code>
You now have your error message. Google it, search for it on stackoverflow, etc.
Maybe this helps as well:
MySQL Server has gone away when importing large sql file
It's about importing not exporting, but it should be the same problem...
I am a complete Yii newbie so please forgive a simple question. I've been reading up on various posts and can't find anything that works. All I'm trying to do is setup a Yii site (which I've done) and then link to a static page using my Main layout.
Below are the three files I think are relevant:
index.php: the view I show on my homepage as content with the main layout
terms_of_use.php: the view I'm unsuccessfully trying to get to appear in the main layout
main.php: my master layout
Within the footer of the main layout, the link to the static page is:
Terms of Use
When I click on it, it generates what I think is the correct url in the brower address bar:
http://localhost/Company/index.php?r=site/page&view=terms_of_use
but what gets shown is the content of index.php, not terms_of_use.php. I'm using the default SiteController. Is there something special about index.php I don't know about, or am I doing something else dumb? Thanks for any help.
views/site/index.php:

Found it. I had enabled the urlManager in config/main.php. If I change my original link to the following then I get what I want.
http://localhost/Company/index.php/site/page/view/terms_of_use
In regards to your specific question, I believe you may have forgotten the step of overriding the actions() method in the default site controller - though that raises the question: Which version of the Yii framework are you using? The override is already included in Yii 1.1.12.
Also, as per the comments on that yii wiki article:
If you happen to use accessRules, don't forget to add 'page' (or
whatever name you have in) to allowed action as well.
http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/22/how-to-display-static-pages-in-yii/ is a great post on using static pages in Yii, the bulk of it:
First, in the default SiteController (or other controller if you
like), override the actions() method as follows,
public function actions()
{
return array(
'page'=>array(
'class'=>'CViewAction',
),
);
}
Second, create a folder protected/views/site/pages.
Third, save each static page as a PHP file under this folder. For
example, we can save the "about this site" page as about.php. Note,
these pages will use the application's default layout. Therefore, only
the main content needs to be saved in each file.
We are done! To access a static page, e.g., the about page, we can use
the following URL:
http://www.example.com/index.php?r=site/page&view=about
Try not to hardcode urls, instead use functions like createUrl, (there are other variants of it).
When you hardcode urls the problem you faced could arise, createUrl takes into account your urlManager configuration, and generates a url accordingly, so when you make changes you don't have to go to every view and change the url again.
You can use it like so:
About
Or use CHtml::link:
echo CHtml::link('About',array('/site/page', 'view'=>'temrs_of_use'));
I somehow managed to blow my Wordpress Site up; The last file I was in was my header.php, I've been combing through it for a couple hours and haven't found whats causing the break yet.
Any suggestions:

UPDATE: Is there an app anywhere online to run tests for errors? I think it may be a missing closing tag somewhere, though I haven't spotted it. I've ran syntax tests against PHP 4+ on a site I found, and appears I'm OK there.
Try turning debugging on.

This should give you an idea of where to start. Otherwise comment out all the php code on the page. Then uncomment them line by line until you find out what causes your page to break. This is where your syntax error will be.
Also, it is a bit unclear what blow up is. It doesn't work at all? Or it works, but the page isn't displaying properly? The former case will be a php error, the latter likely a closing tag issue.
EDIT: This works now thanks to ' olly_uk '
EDIT2: It works now, but the alignment of the boxes is wrong. You can view a screenshot HERE. Without any text it will align perfectly with 2 boxes on each line at a perfect distance from each other, but with text it echo's it under each other. Why?
I am trying to echo a image, then in that image I want to echo text from a database.
Well it echo's the images (3, because I only have 3 product examples in the database), but the products are not aligned in the boxes. It comes under it. I have searched on google but could not find anything
Is it even possible to use e.g. margin-top to move the posted echo so I could align it in the box?
I want to use style or class in the PHP...
Example image: IMAGE
adding <style>p{...};h3{...};</style> worked

i think you could achieve this using CSS. by having a negative top to bump the text over the top of the image. will try to give some example code when i get home.
check this out in the mean time, w3schools CSS-positioning
hope that helped
EDIT: added code to show what i mean
<html>
<head>
<title>text over image</title>
<style>
p {
position:relative;
top:-200px;
}
h2 {
position:relative;
top:-140px;
}
</style>
<head>
<body>
<img src="/images/office1.jpg" alt="demo image"/>
<h2>test text</h2>
<p>test desciption text</p>
<hr/>
<img src="/images/office1.jpg" alt="demo image"/>
<h2>test text</h2>
<p>test desciption text</p>
</body>
I basically use php variables to store the value of the title and the body's ID.
This last one is a technique to have my button (pressed) in the navigation according to which section of the page the user is (in this case the user will know he is currently at "home").
Beginning of my index.php:
<?php
$title = "New Project";
$body = "home";
include("common/header.php");
?>
<div id="content">
<div class="container">
<div id="tagline">
Beginning of my header.php
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7"/>
<title><?php echo $title; ?></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/slimbox2.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/global.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/home.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/contact.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/jquery.corner.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/jquery.validate.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/slimbox2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/custom.js"></script>
</head>
</head>
<body id="<?php echo $body; ?>">
<div id="header">
<div class="container">
<div id="topbar">
<h1>wider design</h1>
<ul id="lang">
<li>English</li>
<li>Español</li>
<li>中文(繁體)</li>
<li>中文(简体)</li>
</ul>
<ul id="nav">
<li class="home">home</li>
<li class="products">products</li>
<li class="about">about</li>
<li class="contact">contact</li>
</ul>
To let the user know in which section he/she is:
#home li.home a, #products li.products a, #contact li.contact {
color: #999;
}
is there a simpler way of doing this?
Am I using unnecessary those PHP variables?
Yes, what you're doing is fine. I do something similar with a PageTemplate class. In addition to setting the title and navigation, it allows navigation links to appear based on user authentication, allows javascript and css to be added to the head section, etc.
What you're doing is very common. There are a million ways to do it, but they'll all require setting some variables.
janoChen,
I use the following method:
// get the url
$url= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
// add a class on the menu item
<ul id="lang">
<li><a href="index.php" <?php if (strpos($url, "index.php")) { echo " class='active'"; } ?>>English</a></li>
//with css I set a style for the class active
li a.active {
color: #990000;
}
But you method also works.
Or else use an MVC framework like CakePHP
This works, but you should consider using a template engine such as Smarty instead.
