[QUOTE=H4Z3Y;33236795]use a templating language. PHP (yuck) can do it easily, otherwise [url=http://jekyllrb.com/]Jekyll[/url] is kickin' rad.[/QUOTE] Not exactly sure what a "templating language" is. Do you mean just do something like this? [code] <?php include("header.php"); ?>  <?php include("footer.php"); ?> [/code]

[code] <?php include("header.php"); ?>  <?php include("footer.php"); ?> [/code][/QUOTE] that's a basic way of templating in PHP, yeah. PHP originated as a templating language, but then all this extra shit was added to it to make it more like a real programming language, which majorly fucked up the language.

[code] <?php include("header.php"); ?>  <?php include("footer.php"); ?> [/code][/QUOTE] What he's talking about is what's called a static site compiler/generator. He mentioned [url=http://jekyllrb.com/]Jekyll[/url] which is great. There are other equally fit options for various platforms, too, such as [url=http://www.phrozn.info/en/]Phrozn[/url] for PHP, or [url=http://ringce.com/hyde]Hyde[/url] for Python. Shop around for your needs, you're sure to find something that fits them. [editline]11th November 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=H4Z3Y;33237321]that's a basic way of templating in PHP, yeah.

[quote=wikipedia]PHP is a general-purpose server-side scripting language originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages.[/quote] okay I'm wrong

[QUOTE=H4Z3Y;33237472]okay I'm wrong[/QUOTE] You don't need to lecture me on the origins of PHP, H4Z3Y, I know more about PHP history then my own history (I've gotta call my mom and ask her where the hell was I born). I just made a passing comment about your two consecutive stabs at the language, which I found funny. The day I get mad at someone saying mean things about one of the languages I like to write it in is the day I throw my laptop out the window, sell my house and go live in the woods with a family of bears.

-snip, sorry wrong thread-

are the facebook bookmark you stalking or is that your profile.

The quote was for my benefit, to show that I didn't do a 180 without reason. (this doesn't change my opinions on php :v:)

You weren't wrong, the nomenclature is always fuzzy with these things, but in its infancy PHP was indeed little more then a template language, and a pretty horrible one at that (truth be told, Perl was still all the rage at the time, just to put it into context). Use whatever language you're comfortable and productive with - at the end of the day, it doesn't matter if you're using python, php, ruby or fortran, if you're not writing code that solves problems and fulfills goals then all you're doing is writing silly-looking text.

Can someone help with some php I need for my gamemode? I just need it to read a Sql table to show stats.

Nonononono! I didn't, i'm just saying that IE didnt work either, as in, it didnt load at all. My friend who has chrome saw this rendered, and in IE for me the page didn't even load.

[QUOTE=TehWhale;33251938]also gotta love the dreamweaver use and tables[/QUOTE] It might just be because I don't know any javascript, but I really see no reason to load the images like that. Just seems so much extra work.

The part where there's scripts and styles outside of the head probably has something to do with it.
