Create php Web site using template

I would like to know how to create a customizable php web site that using a template.

I did create a php web site before that using a template. The logic for the web site is like this:

1) First, I create a web template. Example, the name is "template.php"
2) Then I create the main page content for the web site named "main.php".
3) Then I create an index file. File name is "index.php".

So, It work like this. In the index.php, it will include the file main.php and template.php.

Example code for template.php

<html>

<head>

<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>

<body>

<table border="0" width="100%" height="32">
<tr>
<td width="100%" height="7">banner here</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" height="13"> <?php include($content); ?> </td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>

</html>

--------------------------------------------------------

Example code for main.php

<html>

<head>

<title>main page</title>
</head>

<body>
Here is the content for main page

</body>

</html>

---------------------------------------------------

Example code for index.php:

<?php

$content = "main.php";

include("template.php");

?>

------------------------------------
This site work well if you have a few page for your site. If your page increase, we need to add php swith command to the index page. But that is the inefficient come, if your page content hundred of page, then need to add hundred of php switch command to check which page to load.

So, any others way to create a customizable web site that using template?

Hope you guy can understand
