# custom sections

 * I want to make different sections for my site where each section’s layout differs
   slightly with the other ones. Because of this, the wordpress pages wouldn’t cut
   it for me. I am looking for a way to redirect users to custom php files.
 * e.g. my theme folder could look like this
    theme/section1.php theme/section2.
   php theme/home.php theme/header.php theme/index.php theme/footer.php …
 * and my URIs for them could be
    mydomain.com/section1/ mydomain.com/section2/
 * I was thinking of using a simple php script at index.php like this:
 * `
    if( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/section1/' ) { include( './section1.php' );}
   elseif { $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/section2/' ) { include ( './section2.php');}
   else { include ( './home.php' ); }  home.php would be the homepage. section1.
   php and section2.php would be my section files.
 * Would this be a feasible way around it?

 * You know… you could use multiple page templates for your pages, each page template
   being slightly different layout than others.

 * Does that help or did I miss the point completely?

 * Page Templates, same thing I thought of. That looks like page templates, to me.
