If you have used ASP.NET MVC you'd be familiar with RenderBody. Basically, you have one layout page and several body pages. Something like this:
layout.cshtml:
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Title</title>
</head>
<body>
@RenderBody()
</body>
</html>
index.cshtml:
@{
layout = "layout.cshtml";
}
<p>Hello World!</p>
So when you call index.cshtml, all of its content will be shown in the layout's @RenderBody section. This is really useful when your pages use a single layout.
Now, my question is, how could I achieve something similar to the code above in php?
EDIT
For those who are not familiar with ASP.NET, when you have an index2.cshtml file like this:
@{
layout = "layout.cshtml";
}
<p>Hello World, once again!</p>
Then when you call index2.cshtml this time 'Hello World, once again!' would be printed. So basically, when you define the page's layout, all of its content is displayed in the @RenderBody section of its layout. You don't have to explicitly define what page to include in the layout.

I don't know ASP.NET but here's how you'd most probably do the same in PHP:
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php include('body.php'); ?>
</body>
</html>
and body.php could then contain
<p>Hello World!</p>
(very) Simple routing example:
$router = new RequestRouter; //this class would route a request to a set of templates stored in a persistent storage engine like a database
$request = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$templates = $router->resolve($request); //would return an array with the templates to be used
include('master.php');
master.php:
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<?php include($templates['top']); ?>
</div>
<div>
<?php include($templates['middle']); ?>
</div>
<div>
<?php include($templates['bottom']); ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
You could then define a top, middle and bottom template for each page in your database :)

You can do it (also) with Twig:
main_layot.twig:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
and content:
{% extends "main_layout.twig" %}
{% block content %} Content {% endblock %}
