Headers
Setting headers
The method you surely will use is setTitle() that sets the title of the page; the one that your browser displays in its title/window bar.
<?php
$page->setTitle('My first HTML page');
?>
Meta tags can be set with setMetaData() which takes two parameters, the tag name and the content.
<?php
$page->setMetaData('author', 'Christian Weiske');
?>
A link to a bookmark icon (favicon) can be set using addFavicon() .
Links to related pages (previous, next, home etc.) are added with addHeadLink() - the first parameter determines the URL, the second the relation.
<?php
$page->addHeadLink('home.htm', 'Start');
?>
Adding CSS - Cascading stylesheets
A HTML page may contain two types of stylesheets: Inline
css and a link to external .css file.
Inline CSS declarations are made with addStyleDeclaration()
<?php
$page->addStyleDeclaration('
div.block {
border: 1px solid #000;
}
');
?>
Links to external CSS files are created by using addStyleSheet(). The optional third parameter determines which media type the stylesheet shall be used for.
<?php
$page->addStyleSheet('css/dark.css');
$page->addStyleSheet('css/print.css', 'text/css', 'print');
?>
Adding scripts
You may want to add some javascript code to your page; either inline
or link to an external .js file.
Inline code blocks are added with
addScriptDeclaration()
. The optional second parameter defaults to text/javascript
but can be changed as needed.
<?php
$page->addScriptDeclaration('
function javaScriptTest() {
alert("Test");
}
');
?>
Links to external script files are created by using addScript().
<?php
$page->addScript('js/functions.js');
?>
