For something THIS simple, I truly believe you are Better Off (tm) with a simple head() and foot() function in a globals.inc file: function head($title = "My Site", $bgcolor = '#ffffff'){ ?> <!DOCTYPE ...> <html> <head> <title><?php echo $title?></title> </head> <body bgcolor="<?php echo $bgcolor?>"> <?php } function foot(){ ?> </body> </html> <?php } ?> Your header and footer are now in one "template-like" file which makes it easy to match up tags. And the 5 pages will look like: <?php require 'globals.inc'; head('Page One', '#fcfcfc'); ?> <p>Page One specific content here</p> <?php foot(); ?> The reason I prefer this to header/footer includes, is that it's too easy to mess up closing tags in footer/header out of sync with separate files, but with one file, they're right there and a decent HTML editor will pick them out for you. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
