I would like to create a page that has a left navigation menu, a top header area and an area for the main text. I know this can be done using html Frames but I have read that "frames are evil!"
I have looked at using php templates and have got it working so that text from a file displays in main frame. I have also tried using echo file_get_contents() and having another php file with content in that has a variable it passes to the template handler. The problem is, these both just get the data as a string. I want to display an actual working php file that I want to use for admin purposes within the "main area". I have several seperate php pages that do things like upload a file upload.php and editpagecontent.php (which allows content to be added to a database). This is for an admin only part of a website, it won't be for general puplic viewing if that makes any difference. I just want one page where I can access and use all the admin pages.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I just want to have the php pages I already have working, displayed with the left navigation menu and top header. Thank you.
I hope this makes sense!
