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

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">
