Which version of CodeIgniter are you using?

If it's the latest CI4 - templating is very easy. Take a look at this - https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide...youts.html

Step 1 - create your template file - Views/app.php

PHP Code:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
   <title>My Layout</title>
</head>
<body>
   <?= $this->renderSection('content') ?>
</body>
</html> 

Step 2 - create any page e.g. home page Views/homepage.php

PHP Code:
<?= $this->extend('app') ?> //This is the name of layout file above without ".php" 

<?= $this->section('content') ?>
    <h1>Hello World! Welcome to my website.</h1>
<?= $this->endSection() ?>

Step 3 - In your controller

PHP Code:
public function index()
{
    echo view('homepage');
} 

Depending upon your are requirements - you can create different types of layouts e.g. publicLayout.php or adminLayout.php

You can also include partials too - check out all options here - https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide/outgoing
