What methods can be used to create a web interface for website settings in PHP?

To create a web interface for website settings in PHP, you can use HTML forms to allow users to input and update settings. You can then use PHP to process the form data and update the settings accordingly in a configuration file or database. Additionally, you can use CSS to style the interface and make it user-friendly. 

<?php
// Check if form is submitted
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // Process form data and update settings
    $setting1 = $_POST['setting1'];
    $setting2 = $_POST['setting2'];
    
    // Update settings in configuration file or database
    // Example: update settings in a configuration file
    $configFile = 'settings.php';
    $newSettings = "<?php\n\$setting1 = '$setting1';\n\$setting2 = '$setting2';\n?>";
    file_put_contents($configFile, $newSettings);
    
    echo "Settings updated successfully!";
}
?>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Website Settings</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Website Settings</h1>
    <form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
        Setting 1: <input type="text" name="setting1"><br><br>
        Setting 2: <input type="text" name="setting2"><br><br>
        <input type="submit" value="Save Settings">
    </form>
</body>
</html>
