Dear All,

<head>
<title>Title of Site</title>
</head>
<body text=black link=blue alink=red vlink=purple>

<p align=center>
<a href='index.html'>Home</a> | <a href='about.html'>About My Site</a> | <a href='links.html'>Links</a>
</p>

footer.html

</body>
</html>

how can i use these two files in my index.php page as headers and footers

I know two ways

1) using include function in php
2) using <IFrame> tag

is there any other way

there are lots of ways but include, or better yet require_once, is probably your best and easiest way.

I use require_once('header.php') at the top, and require_once('footer.php') at the bottom. IMHO, that is the best way to go.

I, too, would say require_once is the best way to go, or include() or require().

You could also use fopen(), file(), fsockopen(), file_get_contents()... the list goes on and on...
