I am working on a website that continues to grow. Most pages are php with the same basic structure, header, footer, side bar and content.
Every time I want to add a link or change the layout of the side bar I find myself having to change the code on every webpage. I utilize CSS to some extent to keep a uniform style and so on, but I don't think you can use CSS to, for example, completely change and install a new sidebar navigation system.
I've seen it on wordpress where they'll have a files titled header.php, footer.php sidebar.php, etc and have each page pull in the code from each of those php pages. I cannot figure out what the command or code is to basically 'paste' the contents of the header.php, footer.php etc to the location in the webpage. I am not talking about frames either, I've had way too much trouble when trying to format a website using frames.
If anyone has any guidance on how this is structured where I can use header.php and footer.php files to maintain pieces of the page I would appreciate it.
Or, a great website on templates using php. Thanks.
