Tips and Tools for Developing and Maintaining Web Pages on the NWA Site

The page_template.php file is the starting point for editting your php based web page. This template includes the code for including the banner, menus, etc to allow easy maintainance of the NWA web site. Insert your html code without the html, head, title, and body tags between the BEGIN CONTENT and END CONTEXT comments

Use a text editor for editting your php files. HTML editors will append code to the file that may cause it to fail. You can do a web search for free php editors. Some of the editors used by the IT committee include: TextEditor, notepad, Wordpad (save as text).

You can test your page updates by loading the file to the web site with a test file name. Displaying it with a web browswer will not work.
