ok, so, php

[Carl]

well,

what i want to do is i'm using php in a similar fashion to shtml but i want to insert a variable called $header in the main bit of the page and read it off the header file.

Uh... I'm not really sure what you're trying to do here ?

 

[Koolguy]

Do you mean having a vaiable winin the header file?

header.php
<?
$var="some variable";
?>


main.php
<?
require("header.php");

echo $var;
?>

 

[Carl]

yeah, something like that

 

[razor]

make a header.php and a footer.php. then everypage you make just name it with a .php extension and use the include() function to call header.php and footer.php
EX:
<? include("header.php") ?>
your html code or whatever here
<? include("footer.php") ?>
