Hi,

PHP s a scripting language and is not for the deign of the web site. the design of the web site should be handled by a separate CSS file.

Defining the header footer sections once is smart. You define these in a normal php file and then when you want them to appear you use the include line:
[php]
include 'header.php' ;
[/php]
This is done in the exact place in code where you want the contents of the file included. The server reads that line and pulls in the content of the file to the place. Then the page is served to the browser.

This can also be done in plain old HTML. The line is a bit different and the file that is including the header or footer must be a SHTML file.

Run a Google search on Server Side Includes for more informaiton.
