Kujenga multi-page PHP project kunahusisha kuunda kurasa kadhaa zinazohusiana ambazo zinashirikiana kwa kutumia includes, forms, na navigation.
Hii ni muhimu kwa websites kubwa kama blogs, dashboards, au systems za uhasibu.
🔹 1. Andaa Muundo wa Project
Ni vyema kupanga files zako kwa namna ya modular:
project/
│
├── includes/
│ ├── header.php
│ ├── footer.php
│ ├── config.php
│
├── pages/
│ ├── index.php
│ ├── about.php
│ ├── contact.php
│
└── assets/
├── css/
├── js/
└── images/
includes/ – mafaili yanayotumika kwa kurasa zote (header, footer, config).
pages/ – kurasa za kila sehemu ya website.
assets/ – CSS, JavaScript, na picha.
🔹 2. Unda Header na Footer (Reusable Components)
includes/header.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Multi-Page Project</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../assets/css/style.css">
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1>Karibu Multi-Page Project</h1>
<nav>
<a href="index.php">Nyumbani</a> |
<a href="about.php">Kuhusu</a> |
<a href="contact.php">Wasiliana</a>
</nav>
</header>
<hr>
includes/footer.php
<hr>
<footer>
<p>© <?php echo date("Y"); ?> Multi-Page Project</p>
</footer>
</body>
</html>
🔹 3. Unda Kurasa za Kila Sehemu
pages/index.php
<?php
include '../includes/header.php';
?>
<main>
<h2>Nyumbani</h2>
<p>Hii ni ukurasa wa mwanzo wa project yako ya PHP.</p>
</main>
<?php
include '../includes/footer.php';
?>
pages/about.php
<?php
include '../includes/header.php';
?>
<main>
<h2>Kuhusu</h2>
<p>Hii ni ukurasa wa Kuhusu. Elezea project yako hapa.</p>
</main>
<?php
include '../includes/footer.php';
?>
pages/contact.php
<?php
include '../includes/header.php';
?>
<main>
<h2>Wasiliana Nasi</h2>
<form action="process_contact.php" method="post">
Jina: <input type="text" name="jina" required><br><br>
Barua Pepe: <input type="email" name="email" required><br><br>
Ujumbe: <textarea name="ujumbe" required></textarea><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Tuma">
</form>
</main>
<?php
include '../includes/footer.php';
?>
🔹 4. Handle Form (Optional)
pages/process_contact.php
<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$jina = htmlspecialchars($_POST['jina']);
$email = htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']);
$ujumbe = htmlspecialchars($_POST['ujumbe']);
echo "<h2>Ujumbe Uliotumwa</h2>";
echo "Jina: $jina <br>";
echo "Barua Pepe: $email <br>";
echo "Ujumbe: $ujumbe <br>";
} else {
echo "Fomu haijatumwa.";
}
?>
🔹 5. Vidokezo Muhimu
Tumia include au require kwa header/footer ili kurahisisha maintainability.
Sanitize input kutoka kwa forms kwa usalama.
Panga folders kwa components, pages, na assets.
Tumia CSS na JS kwa njia ya modular (assets folder) ili project iwe safi na rahisi kudhibiti.
Tumia navigation links sahihi kati ya kurasa.
