Create dynamic web pages
The goal of this video is to teach you that being dynamic is a good thing. If your making a large scale website you need to include your menus and other code that is going to be on every page. If you've ever been a web developer and had to do updates for a client and their site is not dynamic, its absolute hell when you have to change one thing on every page. I think i failed to mention why making a constant ABSLPATH was important. 2 reasons for that. Since there are 7 includes on every page, they all need a path to the included file. You can either use a relative path or an absolute path. The way it used to be was just doing ../file on every single include. The problem with that, if I need to make a page that is say 2 folders deep then every single include (all 7) would need to be ../../ instead of ../ So in order to not redo all 7 includes everytime i add a page, i use that constant at the top, so all I have to change when I make a new page is that constant. for the root ill use / for 1 folder deep ill use /../ for 2 folders deep ill use /../../ and so on. I'm going to do a video on sessions, site users, and the next video I make will probably be how to make an XML site map to make your site much more findable on google.
