How To Convert Sb Admin 2 Theme Into PHP Layout

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:

  • PHP 7
  • AdminSB theme, You can download from Here

I have also shared How To Create Admin Layout Using Laravel 8.

Create PHP Template Using SB admin Theme

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.

CSS/JS and libs files

We’ll copy img, css, js, and vendor folder from the source theme folder and paste it into the htdocs/layout folder.

header.php

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">

                    <!-- Sidebar Toggle (Topbar) -->
                    <button id="sidebarToggleTop" class="btn btn-link d-md-none rounded-circle mr-3">
