Building an Easier Site with PHP Modules

“REVISION” is a word that revel lot of efforts in managing hundred and thousand pages in terms of Site Menu or list of links or change of content. However, these tedious tasks become easier when it comes to PHP Modules implementations.

Let’s have a look taking an example of “menu module re-building”. The only thing you have to do is cut all of our menu images & links from our pages leaving behind only the empty tables & then create a new page menu.php without any headers and paste our menu code.

Then in the empty tables we'll add the code:

< ?php include_once "menu.php"; ? >

There is no need to edit all hundred and thousand pages, but you need to edit only menu.php only. All the pages must be in PHP not in HTML or you can use a java script to parse the PHP code. You won’t need to change any of your html code as web browsers will render your pages as same way as .html. Once you start working with PHP you will find a lot free scripts that you can use to make your site more natural and creative than with html.
