Header &amp; Footer

Header & Footer

Anon

Hello, I want my web pages to automatically have a header and footer on all of the pages, I want these written in PHP naturally. The question I pose is, How do i do it?

If anyone can point me to a relevant tutorial then please do.

Thanks

I had this problem with my page with the new version (www.timdorr.com).

Just edit your php.ini file to include

auto_append_file "foot.php"
auto_prepend_file "head.php"

I have a rather unique setup for my system. I set apache to parse .html files through PHP so that the header and footer are added.
I did this in an .htaccess file so I could do it on a directory-by-directory basis.
The .htaccess file looks like this:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
php_value auto_append_file "foot.html"
php_value auto_prepend_file "head.html"

Hope that helps!

<?
// template.inc
$header=<<<EOF

<head>
<title>Here's the header</title>
</head>
<body>
blah blah blah
EOF;

$footer=<<<EOF
copyright stuff etc
</body>
EOF;
?>

<? //page.php
$page_content="blah blah blah de blah blah blah";

include("template.php");

print($header);
print($page_content);
print($footer);
?>

and when you've finished messing around with all that check out the PHPLib template class.

Good luck
