My next step in php is to tro to learn how to use a template system. by this i mean where i can have a page called index.php and the design would be determined by index.tpl
Then id like to be able to do what phpbb templates do and have {SOMETHING_COOL} to display a certain text or item.
It's quite simple Python, basically you load the file (ie. 'index.tpl') then search for {SOMETHING_COOL} and replace it with "Something else". For example:
yeah. ill have a quick search on google sometime for a more detaled tutorial on it. because it would be really cool if i could make it based on language files too
hey thats for those discriptions i have been learning php for some time my forum is http://www.zackszone.com so im going to be making some things for a new site
Hey Python i wasnt trying to spam i was sent here but a freind thats builds websites and i was reading about php and saw this and it helped me with the site im putting to gether
sorry if you though it was spaming i will not do it again
Python, I've been looking for this sort of a thing for a while and never thought to ask. Thanks for posting the thread, and I'll be sure to read it when I start learning a little more PHP; at the moment I probably could understand it, I'm just not willing to without being in must-learn-PHP-mode.
Check out the articles on Devshed.com, there is a five part series on there about building a site engine CMS, its a little incomplete but it has a lot of good ideas. I am working a version at the moment using PHP 4. Templates are XML based so I am writing a parser that emulates the simpleXML functionality in PHP5.

[code:1:f73c78e1e3]$tpl = file_get_contents('index.tpl');
$tpl = str_replace('{SOMETHING_COOL', 'Something else', $tpl);
echo $tpl;[/code:1:f73c78e1e3]
Of course, you'd probably stick this into a class of some sort.

[code:1:51e8a5b040]$lang = array('hello' => 'Hello', 'welcome' => 'Welcome to DD', 'time' => 'It\'s time again!');
foreach($lang AS $k => $v)
{
$tpl = str_replace("{LNG.$k}", $v, $tpl);
}
echo $tpl;[/code:1:51e8a5b040]
So in that example, {LNG.hello} would be replaced with 'Hello' etc.
