Add HTML to index.php in languages

[lamur]

In my includes/languages/english/index.php file, I would like to add a bunch of HTML code to the front of the page to make it look a little more snazzy sort to speak. But I am not sure how to put that code into the index.php file without screwing it up. I think a better way would to do an include(file) so that it calls a particular HTML file to pull it from.. But I am not sure how to do this.. Can someone help me out a bit? Thanks

In includes/languages/english/index.php, do something like this

define("TEXT_MINE', <p>Some text here</p><p>Some other text here that is <b>bolded</b></p>

Then, in index.php, find the line that says

 } else {

and add the following somewhere after it:

        <tr>
      <td class="pageHeading"><?php echo TEXT_MINE; ?></td>
     </tr>

Sorry, I should have been more clear on this. Although I just learned something from your post jack. That's going to help my future editing skills greatly!

 

The main thing I was wondering though, in includes/languages/english/index.php there is the line:

'TEXT_MAIN'

which shows the main text of the page. This is where I was hoping to put the HTML code. But I got so much of it that would have to be converted to 1 line and use the PHP formatting to make it fit. So I was just hoping to put some kind of a link to an .htm file that has the code, so I can update it and modify it easier than in that index.php file... make sense?

 

Thanks for that help jack. That's awesome to know!

You can enter html straight into the language file define text.

I hate to sound stupid....but.. I am :)

 

The HTML that I did up was made in frontpage, and so it has lines and quotation marks all over in it, and I think it would be a pain to have to make everything fit on one line and get rid of the quotation marks. I was just hoping to see an easier way of doing this.
