  • 0

I am currently dabbling in Magento and I want know how I can create a blank Hello World file whilst still including header, footer etc. I have read How to create a simple 'Hello World' module in Magento? – however I feel that this is too much for a static page.

I want to create http://www.site.com/magentolocation/helloworld.php

I want a blank PHP file and rather go down the module and MVC approach can I not just do:

<?php
include magconfig;
mag->header;

echo 'hello world' // or other static html

mag->footer;
?>

Simple.

    I’m sure there might be a prettier way but here is a quick snippet for you:

    <?php

require_once ('app/Mage.php');
umask(0);
Mage::app('default');
Mage::getSingleton('core/session', array('name' => 'frontend'));
$Block = Mage::getSingleton('core/layout');
$head = $Block->createBlock('Page/Html_Head');
$head->addCss('css/styles.css');
$head->addJs('prototype/prototype.js');
$header = $Block->createBlock('Page/Html_Header');
$header->setTemplate('page/html/header.phtml');
$footer = $Block->createBlock('Page/Html_Footer');
$footer->setTemplate('page/html/footer.phtml');

?>
<html>
<head>
<?php echo $head->getCssJsHtml(); ?>
</head>
<body>
<?php

    echo $header->toHTML();

    echo 'hello world';

    echo $footer->toHTML();
?>
</body>
</html>
