Hi currently I have a page that looks like:
<html>
<body>
<?php include blahblah;?>
<div>
<?php include blahblah;?>
</div>
<p>
Wordswordswords
</p>
<?php include blahblah;?>
</body>
</html>
I have this as a norm across my site and it would be pretty difficult to change the format of the site later on. I was wondering if it would be acceptable to set php variables at the beginning of the document and then proceeding to require the template, for example:
<?php
$words = 'words words words';
$blahdi = 'more words words';
require template;
?>
I understand that this will work but would it be good "coding etiquette" or have any drawbacks?
