Here is a very simple tutorial on how to make a 3 column CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) based web page that will ultimately look like this;

You can see that there are 3 sections to the page, the left, middle and right hand side. We will refer to these as the Left Sidebar, Content and Right Sidebar. This style of page is well used because it offers an area for navigation of the website, an area for the content of the page and an area for miscellaneous extras. It is also an example of a fluid layout;- as the resolution of the viewers monitor increases, so does the size of the content area.

Ok, so how do you format dates in PHP so it outputs the date format you want? Well thanks to PHP’s date() and strtotime() function, we can do all that! To kick off, lets take the most common date format ‘YYYY-MM-DD HH:II:SS‘. This date format seems to be most favoured as it increments in such a way that allows you to query a database that has multiple records in a useful way, such as:

First and foremost MAKE SURE YOU HAVE WRITE PERMISSIONS ENABLED ON THE FILE/DIR YOU WISH TO WRITE TO. Chmod 755, no more. Ok, so the code is similar to reading from a text file with a few different lines:
<?php
$filename = 'test.txt';
$fp = fopen($filename, "w");
$string = "w00t\nHello World";
$write = fputs($fp, $string);
fclose($fp);
?>

Ok, you know the basics. Ask questions if you don’t understand (by posting comments - it’s the only way to make this tutorial complete!).

<?php

$fp = fopen($filename, "r");
$data = fread($fp, filesize($filename));
fclose($fp);
?>
