## Code Reduction Examples

### Example 1: Logo Implementation

**Before (Two Files):**
```php
// header01.php
<img src="assets/images/logos/logo.png" style="width:200px;" alt="Logo">

// header02.php
<img src="assets/images/logos/logo-two.png" style="width:200px;" alt="Logo">
```

**After (Single File with Config):**
```php
// header.php
<img src="<?php echo $config['logo_image']; ?>" style="<?php echo $config['logo_width']; ?>" alt="Logo">

// header_config.php
'01' => ['logo_image' => 'assets/images/logos/logo.png'],
'02' => ['logo_image' => 'assets/images/logos/logo-two.png'],
```

**Lines Saved:** 2 lines → 1 line logic (config-driven)

### Example 2: Welcome Text Color

**Before (Two Files):**
```php
// header01.php
<span style="color: #fff;">Welcome, <?php echo $_SESSION['first_name']; ?></span>

// header02.php
<span style="color: #111111;">Welcome, <?php echo $_SESSION['first_name']; ?></span>
```

**After (Single File with Config):**
```php
// header.php
<span style="color: <?php echo $config['welcome_text_color']; ?>;">Welcome, <?php echo $_SESSION['first_name']; ?></span>

// header_config.php
'01' => ['welcome_text_color' => '#fff'],
'02' => ['welcome_text_color' => '#111111'],
```

**Lines Saved:** 2 files with duplication → 1 line logic (config-driven)

### Example 3: Conditional Menus

**Before (Two Files):**
```php
// header01.php
<?php if ($is_member): ?>
    <li class="dropdown"><a href="#">Members Area</a>
        <ul><li><a href="#">Coming Soon!</a></li></ul>
    </li>
<?php endif; ?>

// header02.php
<!-- No Members Area Menu -->
<!-- (Menu logic duplicated, just removed) -->
```

**After (Single File with Config):**
```php
// header.php
<?php if ($config['member_area_menu'] && $is_member): ?>
    <li class="dropdown"><a href="#">Members Area</a>
        <ul><li><a href="#">Coming Soon!</a></li></ul>
    </li>
<?php endif; ?>

// header_config.php
'01' => ['member_area_menu' => true],
'02' => ['member_area_menu' => false],
```

**Lines Saved:** 2 implementations → 1 implementation (config-driven)

### Example 4: Security Headers

**Before (Two Files):**
```php
// header01.php
if (empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) || $_SERVER['HTTPS'] === 'off') {
    header('Location: https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], true, 301);
    exit;
}
header('Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload');
header('X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff');
// ... 4 more header() calls

// header02.php
// No security headers (omitted entirely)
```

**After (Single File with Config):**
```php
// header.php
if ($config['include_security_headers']) {
    if (empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) || $_SERVER['HTTPS'] === 'off') {
        header('Location: https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], true, 301);
        exit;
    }
    header('Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload');
    // ...
}

// header_config.php
'01' => ['include_security_headers' => true],
'02' => ['include_security_headers' => false],
```

**Lines Saved:** 2 complete implementations → 1 implementation (config-driven)

## Trips Menu Comparison

### Variant 01: Full Submenu
```php
<li><a href="trips.php">Trips</a>
    <ul>
        <li><a href="tour-list.html">Tour List</a></li>
        <li><a href="tour-grid.html">Tour Grid</a></li>
        <li><a href="tour-sidebar.html">Tour Sidebar</a></li>
        <li><a href="trip-details.php">Tour Details</a></li>
        <li><a href="tour-guide.html">Tour Guide</a></li>
    </ul>
</li>
```

### Variant 02: Simplified Menu
```php
<li><a href="trips.php">Trips</a></li>
```

### Consolidated: Single Code Block
```php
<?php if ($config['trip_submenu']): ?>
    <li><a href="trips.php">Trips</a>
        <ul>
            <li><a href="tour-list.html">Tour List</a></li>
            <li><a href="tour-grid.html">Tour Grid</a></li>
            <li><a href="tour-sidebar.html">Tour Sidebar</a></li>
            <li><a href="trip-details.php">Tour Details</a></li>
            <li><a href="tour-guide.html">Tour Guide</a></li>
        </ul>
    </li>
<?php else: ?>
    <li><a href="trips.php">Trips</a></li>
<?php endif; ?>
```

## Shadow Style Comparison

### Variant 01: Simple Shadow
```css
box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
```
**Effect:** Subtle depth, light glow

### Variant 02: Enhanced Shadow
```css
box-shadow: 2px 2px 5px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1), 
            -2px 0px 5px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
```
**Effect:** Double shadow with directional emphasis

### Consolidated:
```php
// header_config.php
'01' => ['shadow_style' => '0px 8px 16px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)'],
'02' => ['shadow_style' => '2px 2px 5px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1), -2px 0px 5px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)'],

// header.php
box-shadow: <?php echo $config['shadow_style']; ?>;
```

---

## CSS File Handling

### Variant 01 (Minimal Extra CSS)
```php
'extra_css_files' => [
    'header_css.css',
],
'style_css_version' => '?v=1',
```

### Variant 02 (Extended CSS)
```php
'extra_css_files' => [
    'https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons',
    'assets/css/jquery-ui.min.css',
    'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/aos@2.3.4/dist/aos.css',
],
'style_css_version' => '',
'extra_styles' => true,
```

### Consolidated Loading:
```php
<?php foreach ($config['extra_css_files'] as $css_file): ?>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $css_file; ?>">
<?php endforeach; ?>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/css/style_new.css<?php echo $config['style_css_version']; ?>">
```

---

## Page Setup Comparison

### Old Way (Two Different Files)
```php
// Homepage
<?php require_once('header01.php'); ?>

// Trip details page
<?php require_once('header02.php'); ?>
```

### New Way (Single File, Config-Driven)
```php
// Homepage
<?php define('HEADER_VARIANT', '01'); require_once('header.php'); ?>

// Trip details page
<?php define('HEADER_VARIANT', '02'); require_once('header.php'); ?>
```

---

## Maintenance Workflow

### Updating a Feature

**Before (Two Files - Must Edit Both):**
```bash
1. Edit header01.php nav menu
2. Edit header02.php nav menu
3. Test variant 1
4. Test variant 2
5. Risk: Forgetting to sync one file
```

**After (One File - Edit Once):**
```bash
1. Edit header.php nav logic
2. Test variant 1
3. Test variant 2
4. Done - always in sync
```
