Okay there are a 3 popular ways:

1) Have all the php and html mixed in a single file but reference others

this means you have like a directory called libraries, and you reference those methods with html for example:

```php
<?php

 require_once ("libs/authentication.php");
 require_once ("libs/database.php"); ... etc
?>

<html>
.... <?=$variable?> or <?php echo $variable; ?>```

So your paths are like website.com/page.php, website.com/page2.php

and your directory looks like
```
Website
|- libs
|  |- authentication.php
|  |- ...
|- js
|- css
|- images
|- index.php
|- page.php
|- page2.php
```

or

```
Website
|- libs
|  |- authentication.php
|  |- ...
|- assets
|  |- js
|  |- css
|  |- images
|- index.php
|- page.php
|- page2.php
```

2) Same as above except your store your html/php into another
	file.

This means you still have index.php, page.php, page2.php but its
easier to manage.

You may include `html/header.php`, `html/page1.php` etc or just include the `html/page1.php` file and let that include the other templated sections.

```
Website
|- libs
|  |- authentication.php
|  |- ...
|- assets
|  |- js
|  |- css
|  |- images
|- html
|  |- templates
|  |  |- ...
|  |- index.php
|  |- page.php
|  |- page2.php
|- .htaccess (disallow html folder access)
|- index.php
|- page.php
|- page2.php
```

The requested file may look like:

```php
<?php

 require_once ("libs/authentication.php");
 require_once ("libs/database.php"); ... etc

 include ("html/index.php"); ?>
```

The page may look like

```php
<html>
 <?php include ("templates/header.php") ?>
.... <?=$variable?> or <?php echo $variable; ?>```

3) Using a MVC Framework

This means that you have someting resembling

```
Website
|- App
|  |- Controllers
|  |  |- Authentication
|  |  |  |- LoginController.php
|  |  |- IndexController.php
|  |- Libraries
|- assets
|  |- js
|  |- css
|  |- images
|- resources
|  |- cache
|  |- views
|  |  |- layouts
|  |  |  |- default.blade.php
|  |  |- home.blade.php
|- .htaccess (Pass the path to mvc_app.php, allow the folder assets to be accessed)
|- mvc_app.php
```

In laravel you would set the paths to each controllers, but for this example im using generic terminology.

You request website.com/assets/ you get website.com/assests/.

You request website.com/ you get IndexController.php -> index()

You request website.com/Authentication/Login/Login you get Authentication/LoginController.php -> Login()

your typical controller may look like:

```
class IndexController extends Controller {

	public function index() {
		// home.blade.php
		return view('home', ['argument' => "hello world"]);
	}
}
```

Your typical blade view looks like
```php

@extends ('layouts.default')

@section ('content')
	<!-- page start-->
	<div class="row state-overview">
		<div class="col-lg-3 col-sm-6">
			<section class="panel">
				<div class="symbol yellow">
					<i class="fa fa-user"></i>
				</div>
				<div class="value">
					<h1 class="count">{{$argument}}</h1>
					<p>Total Users</p>
				</div>
			</section>
		</div>
	</div>
@endsection

```
	Okay there are a 3 popular ways:

	1) Have all the php and html mixed in a single file but reference others

	this means you have like a directory called libraries, and you reference those methods with html for example:

	require_once ("libs/authentication.php");

	So your paths are like website.com/page.php, website.com/page2.php

	and your directory looks like
	```

	\|- images
	\|- index.php

	\|- page2.php
