<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Being new to PHP I would like how to organize my code better. I usually organize it the exact same page on every page. This are the parts I have recognized so far: 
 
1) PHP code (example below) 
 
&lt;?php require_once( &quot;../../webassist/security_assist/helper_php.php&quot; ); ?&gt; 
&lt;?php 
if (!WA_Auth_RulePasses(&quot;Logged in to pcms2_users&quot;)){ 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WA_Auth_RestrictAccess(&quot;../../logout.php&quot;); 
} 
?&gt; 
 
2) &lt;html&gt; &nbsp;tag 
 
3) &lt;meta content&gt; 
 
4) &lt;head&gt; 
 
5) &lt;link .. to stylesheets&gt; 
6) &lt;scrpt type ... &gt; 
 
7) &lt;/head&gt; 
 
8) &lt;body&gt; 
 
9) All the 'body' code 
 
10) &lt;/body&gt; 
 
11) &lt;/html&gt; 
 
Would that be accurate ? &nbsp;or can I have the PHP code elsewhere as best practice, just looks weird to me that it is at the very top before my meta tags, etc. &nbsp;I would usually have it between my meta tags and before the &lt;head&gt; content. 
 
Any pointers for best practices are welcome.

PHP code best practices

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

Web applications are systems that run in browsers that perform functions normally associated with other client-based programs. One of the most commonly used web applications is email; instead of downloading individual emails to a local machine, the data is shown through a website. Other examples of web applications are collaborative systems like a wiki or an online game.

Web Applications

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.
