CGI Questions.

I need something that will control a layout for a website pulling information from a flat file. News and Links would be nice. I haven't found anything like this.

are you talking about something like phpNuke?

You could use PHP or SSI for that... If I am understanding you correctly.

Just have a file with all your header text, name it header.txt and then
<!--#include virtual="header.txt" --> for SSI or <?php include="header.txt" ?> for PHP

If that is what you are talking about.

Also, I think that is the syntax for a php include, somebody correct me if I am wrong. And SSI is a little more available in free webhost than php, so you might want to go with that.

Or maybe that has nothing to do with what you really asked.
