PHP Project 2 Build a website with PHP external data

Build a website in PHP. This first project was to show you the basics of building a website using PHP now we are modifying it to support external data so that the content and the function are totally seperate.

<? // contents of index.php
require DIR . ‘/dplwebsite.php’; // include our class definition
// beginning of php code
// set up data in array
$pages = array();
// create data array for home page
$page = array();
$page[‘name’]=’home’;
$page[‘title’]=’Home’;
$page[‘link’]=’Home‘;
$page[‘heading’]=’Home page’;
$page[‘content’]=”Welcome to my new website.”;
$pages[]=$page; // add home page to array

// create data array for about page
$page = array();
$page[‘name’]=’about’;
$page[‘title’]=’About’;
$page[‘link’]=’About‘;
$page[‘heading’]=”About Me”;
$page[‘content’]=”I’ve been working with websites for over twenty years.”;
$pages[]=$page; // add home page to array

// create data array for contact page
$page = array();
$page[‘name’]=’contact’;
$page[‘title’]=’Contact’;
$page[‘link’]=’Contact‘;
$page[‘heading’]=’Contact Me’;
$page[‘content’]=’Contact me using this link:
duetltd@gmail.com‘;
$pages[]=$page; // add home page to array

$website = new DplWebsite($pages);
$website->setdata();
$website->showdata();

<? // contents of dplwebsite.php
