This PHP tutorial helps to convert the admin theme into PHP layout or template. It’s a very common thing in any web application. I am using bootstrap 4 based AdminSB 2 free themes.
You can create an interactive admin panel using sb admin2 theme. You can also create a wonderful admin view using this template.
The Pre-Requisite:
I have also shared How To Create Admin Layout Using Laravel 8.
Let’s download the SB Admin theme from the above-provided GitHub link. We’ll open blank.html file that’ll have simple layout of the theme. Also, created a ‘layout’ folder under the htdocs/ folder.
There are following files will participate into this php 7 layout tutorial, We’ll create following files into the htdocs/layout folder:
header.php: This file will contain header information.sidebar.php: This file will contain theme sidebar information.footer.php: This file will contain footer information.dashbord.php: will have dashboard module content.index.php: This in the main app layout file that will have all partials files.We’ll copy img, css, js, and vendor folder from the source theme folder and paste it into the htdocs/layout folder.
Let’s open the header.php file which was already created into the htdocs/layout folder.Added the below SBadmin2 theme header html code:
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand navbar-light bg-white topbar mb-4 static-top shadow">
