PHP Website

This exercise allows you to practice includes, conditional logic, comparison operators and control structures.

(Real-World) Premise

You are taking a static website and converting it to PHP. This will allow you to easily add pages and navigation by simply modifying PHP variables, instead of doing a find/replace on every page of your website.

Getting Started

1. Clone or download this repository.
2. In your terminal, enter the php-website directory.
3. Run php -S localhost:8000 to start the local webserver.

Instructions

1. Visit http://localhost:8000/theme-src/ - This is the static HTML site. Use this for reference only.
2. In a new tab, visit http://localhost:8000/www/index.php - This is your PHP version.
3. Open www/index.php in your editor and include config.php at the top of your page.
4. Use includes to add each of the four partials where indicated.
5. Open www/_partials/header.php and use a foreach loop to output your navigation.
6. Use an if statement to add the current class to correct <li> tag.
7. Open www/_partials/scripts.php and use a foreach loop to output your scripts.
8. Duplicate index.php as about.php and contact.php.
9. Change the content of about.php to resemble theme-src/left-sidebar.html.
10. Change the content of contact.php to resemble theme-src/right-sidebar.html.
