i tried to make this a productive day. i got started on learning more C++, did a little bit of math, and worked on some php. i saw a tutorial on pagination a few days ago that looks like it could be exactly what i need. today, though, i focused on includes.
it seems to make sense the same way style sheets make sense. if you have your styles in one area, and the content in another, why not do the same thing with the separate parts of the content? as it is, i can change the "look" of the page by changing the styles in one file, but to add something to the menu, or change to footer or whatever i have to go in to every page and copy and paste the same html. pretty ridiculous. so today i did this.
i know it looks the same, but it's supposed to. it's supposed to look exactly the same. if you compare the source for these two pages, you'll notice that the index page here (in the main section) is kinda scrambly and a big mess. if you look at the example page (whose title i've changed to P H P I N C L U D E to better differentiate the two) you'll see that it's only a few lines long, and that if i want to make any changes to three of the sections of the page, i'll only have to modify one file to see it reflected across the site (once all of the pages are changed over of course).
finally, i would like to state that i will get this pagination/entry browsing thing down. seriously.
interesting. and funny.
since it's now officially past my birthday, i can set aside the guilt and post a list of things that i want. these may not be items that i wanted to receive as birthday gifts, but just things that i covet in general (in no particular order, either):
