Why would you not just use MySQL for a template system? Instead of reading flat files?
so have all the html and css stored in the database?? would that not make the load time big in the sql server?
Not unless its like, uber slow, it probably takes more time opening an instance of a file, reading it, then closing it, then it does to pull it ouf ot the database.
You could have a table called `templates`:
name
value
Example:
Name: header
Value: <html><head><title>hey</title></head> <body>
Name: footer
Value: <center>Copyright!</center></body></html>
PHP Code:<?php
function get_template ($template_name) {
$query = mysql_query("SELECT name, value FROM templates WHERE name='$template_name' LIMIT 0,1");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($query);
echo $row["value"];
}
?>
hmm i could do some thing like that then all i have to do is make a template editing system (that would be easy).
thank you MountainDew.
No problem,
think of it this way.
When you do it flat-file,
1. Create connection to the file.
2. Read the file and store it in the variable.
3. Close file.
MySQL (Pre-connected)
1. Query.
2. Echo.

Flat file is more efficient for a template system
