PHP Includes Support in Bootstrap Studio

[Andrea]

Bootstrap Studio has become such a time saver, but I am having issues including PHP. I rely on PHP includes to manage dynamic elements like headers and footers while also allowing each page to have SEO-friendly content (custom meta tags and titles).

Currently, I have to export the project, manually convert the static HTML into PHP, and reapply includes every time I update the design. This can be quite tedious, so it would be amazing if Bootstrap Studio could support PHP. This would also help with compatibility when I bring such files back into Bootstrap Studio to make changes.

This was asked a little while ago in this forum: PHP - before page header and anything else so I was looking for an update on this.

Thank you!

Bootstrap Studio is a frontend tool, I believe this is not going to happen. This has been asked before I guess.

Martin has said in other posts the PHP support will never be added to Bootstrap Studio.

Hey @Andrea,

I can send you a PowerShell application I made with a GUI that converts your .html files into PHP.

I often use PHP to add the copyright year to my sites, so I add the PHP in the Custom Code block, then once it’s converted to PHP it works on my hosting.

Thank you for your comments, I understand that PHP will never be supported. Would have helped but still not a major issue.

Hey @catkin, that would be greatly appreciated if you could send it.

And thank you for your benevolent activity on this forum.

Hello @Andrea and @JCWEB

I created a new post for the PowerShell script, I am sorry for not posting it sooner - but I wanted to improve the UI and make it more accessible by converting it to a .exe application.

.HTML to .PHP Application

Hello, As mentioned in another thread in the forums people where interested I share a application I have written that converts HTML documents to PHP. Here is the application and details. [image] Features Allows you to write PHP in Custom Code tags, and convers this from HTML encoding back into plain text. Removes .html from all links on your page, this does require you setup an .htaccess file Easy file explorer to find the pages you want to convert. Can just strip .html from links if…

1. is this for custom one php file per page?
2. or more like as view layer on MVC pattern framework(laravel, codeignigter or symfony)?

if you want for 1), then extending bss with export script(eg. Powershell), is the quickest way…

if 2) however, using library (eg. chokidar) that watches directory will perform better(no script call each time you export), you can also combine them with dom parser library(domino) for better output control…
