<div class="s-content">
<p>Create a new file in the <code>bridges/</code> folder (see <a href="../For_Developers/Folder_structure.html">Folder structure</a>).</p>
<p>The file name must be named according to following specification:</p>
<ul>
<li>It starts with the full name of the site</li>
<li>All white-space must be removed</li>
<li>The first letter of a word is written in upper-case, unless the site name is specified otherwise (example: Freenews, not FreeNews, because the site is named Freenews)</li>
<li>The first character must be upper-case</li>
<li>The file name must end with Bridge</li>
<li>The file type must be PHP, written in <strong>small</strong> letters (seriously!) “.php”</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Examples:</strong></p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Site</th>
<th>Filename</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Wikipedia</td>
<td><strong>Wikipedia</strong>Bridge.php</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Facebook</td>
<td><strong>Facebook</strong>Bridge.php</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>GitHub</td>
<td><strong>GitHub</strong>Bridge.php</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Freenews</td>
<td><strong>Freenews</strong>Bridge.php</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>The file must start with the PHP tags and end with an empty line. The closing tag <code>?&gt;</code> is <a href="http://php.net/basic-syntax.instruction-separation" class="Link--external" rel="noopener noreferrer">omitted</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Example:</strong></p>
<pre><code class="hljs php"><span class="hljs-meta">&lt;?php</span>
<span class="hljs-comment">// PHP code here</span>
<span class="hljs-comment">// This line is empty (just imagine it!)</span>
</code></pre>
<p>The next step is to extend one of the base classes.
Refer to one of an base classes listed on the <a href="index.html">Bridge API</a> page.</p>
