To generate HTML Pages by PHP, we need to echo certain HTML tags, like <head>,<html>, external javascripts, css, <meta> tags blah blah blah…. it’s boring to print these tags each time you create a HTML page just to display a short message or short body. So I’ve created a template called html.php, you can include this source in your php page and call html_head() to generate the basic HTML tags!

Why use it?

Wondering why use this generator? Just include the html.php in your source by calling

require_once('html.php');

Then call

html_head();

Bingo! the function html_head automatically generate following HTML tags for you!

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
	<html>
		<head>
			<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
			<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://i46.tinypic.com/111up8o.jpg">
			<meta name="description" content="Generated HTML by PHP" />
			<meta name="keywords" content="Generated HTML by PHP" />
			<title>Generated HTML</title>

                <style type="text/css">body{font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:10px; color:#333;}</style>

Cool! Of course, you can pass optional parameters in html_head() and customize the generated HTML.

Documentations

Pass optional parameters in html_head() function. The function has a definition like:

html_head($title = "Generated HTML", $css_array = "", $js_array = "", $start_body=false)

Explanation:

$title: Document Title

$css_array: Array of External CSS files (.css) to be included

$js_array: Array of External javascript files (.js) to be included

$start_body: If passed as true, it will print </head><body>, otherwise not.

You see, all parameters are optional. For Example, if you need to include myjs.js you can call html_head like this:

html_head("My New HTML File", "", array('myjs.js'));

Other Functions:

html_foot: prints </body></head>

html_error: Prints an Error/OK message. See source for more details.
