Hope this helpsPHP Code:
include('header.php');
# site content
include('footer.php');
And would header.php be likePHP Code:<?php
include('header.php');
<p>There is no spoon</p>
include('footer.php');
?>
PHP Code:<?php
<html>

Uhm, no. You would have to replaceOriginally posted by Error 404
So would my page be like this
PHP Code:<?php
include('header.php');
<p>There is no spoon</p>
include('footer.php');
?>withPHP Code:<p>There is no spoon</p>
And header.php SHOULD be likePHP Code:echo('<p>There is no spoon</p>');
There, basically you have to use echo() to use HTML.PHP Code:<?php
echo('<html>');
echo('<head>');
echo('<title>The Matrix</title>');
echo('</head>');
echo('<body>');
?>
Hope that was helpfulDaveComment

Or the preferred way...
Then in header and footer php, just use html onlyPHP Code:<?php
include("header.php");
?>
<p>Blah blah blah</p>
<?php
include("footer.php");
?>
Unless you want to use a bit of php in one of the files of course,Code:<html> <head> etc etc
Just makes things easier for you and you should really avoid using php just to echo html as much as you can.Comment

Nightfire's post was almost the way I did it, as I hadn't posted here yet.
PHP Code:<?PHP
$strPagetitle = 'Welcome';
require ('templates/header.php');
require ('indexcontents.html');
require ('templates/footer.php');
?>Comment

Using php to echo html is pretty wateful. Part of the joy of using php is that you can intermix it in html. Instead of
Just use it where you need to :PHP Code:<?php
include('header.php');
echo '<p>There is no spoon</p>';
include('footer.php');
?>
It's a small difference in this example, but it makes much more sense in larger projects.PHP Code:<?php include('header.php');?>
<p>There is no spoon</p>
<?php include('footer.php');?>

On my site my header php file is:
And my footer php file is:PHP Code:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>The stubby web site</title>
<meta name="description" content= "Canadian Stubby Beer">
<meta name="keywords" content="stubby beer bottle">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
My navagation is also a separate php file. Using the include line makes building my web site very simple.PHP Code:<hr></hr>
<center>
<?php
echo '© 2001-';
echo date('Y');
echo ' Leonard Whistler';
echo '<br>email: [email][email protected][/email]';
?>
</center>
<hr></hr>
</body>
</html>
