 * I have no idea how common this is, but I’m wanting to create pages that utilize
   php elements. I installed a plugin that makes php recognizable in pages. It seems
   to work well enough for some things. However, I’m just wondering, is there a 
   more efficient way of doing this? My initial idea was to create an all new php
   file borrowing many elements from the page.php but still having its own unique
   layout. I’ve not had success making that work, though.

 * I would not think it would be very hard since the whole thing is php anyways.

 * You can create a template for that specific page. For e.g. contact
 *     ```
       <?php
       /* Template Name: Contact */
       ?>
       ```
   
 * And all you have to do when you create a page is to make use of this template,
   and there you have it. You can custom code the template to make use of the page.
   php layout.
