Setting up PHP project from HTML Template

Prepare your HTML template

This is the first step for setting up PHP project from HTML Template.For this you must have an HTML Template, if you do not have any HTML template ,download it from online resources, you can search lots of free CSS template from google. I have download a sample HTML/CSS template for this tutorial.download link https://www.free-css.com/free-css-templates/page87/electronix#shout

After downloaded put it under your server root folder .

in xampp 'htdocs' or in wampp 'www' folder. extract it and rename 'index.html' to 'index.php' file .

Now create a folder i.e 'includes' and blank PHP files :

- header.php - footer.php - left.php - right.php

open the index.php file in your favourite editor .

Find header codes. It contains logo,menu etc. Mainly top common area of template above container.So cut the selected header area and paste to header.php inside 'includes' folder. Similarly , you have to find left,right,footer area and paste to the files under includes folder. Do not forget to write below code when you cut header area in index.php

Similar for all left,right,footer area.

That's it ,we have set up a small process for creating project.

Let's talk about creating other pages in the project supposed 'about.php'.

create a new file about.php by copying index.php file. Open it in Dreamweaver in remove extra container data .now open header.php and create a new link about.php in menu . Access the project on your local server like https://loocalhost/project there you can access about.php to by clicking on the top menu.
