# Main PHP Files

<div id="bkmrk-please-follow-these-">The PHP files in the main directory are the defining structure for each page of the site. Follow these guidelines for naming the main level PHP files and their associated assets:</div>##### <span style="color: #ba372a;">**Naming Convention**</span>

- Use lowercase letters with words separated by hyphens (-) or underscores (\_).
- Avoid spaces or special characters; use only A–Z, a–z, 0–9, \_, and -.

##### <span style="color: #ba372a;">**Usage**</span>

<div id="bkmrk-file-names-should-cl">File names should clearly identify the purpose of the page. For example, cemeter**ies**.php should be used for a list of all county cemeteries, while cemeter**y**.php should be used for an individual cemetery page. Likewise for church/churches, school/schools, and town/towns.</div>##### <span style="color: #ba372a;">**Related File Names**</span>

<div id="bkmrk-each-php-file-must-h">Each PHP file must have an associated JS (.js) and CSS (.scss) file. To ensure consistent file loading, these files must share the exact same name as the PHP file (e.g., cemetery.php, cemetery.js, and cemetery.scss).</div><div id="bkmrk-"></div>
