Noticerepparttar first segment:

<?php

include 'template/header.php'; ?>

You must always includerepparttar 118027 opening tag: <?php andrepparttar 118028 ending tag: ?> In between them we have an instruction to 'include' a file called 'header.php' which is located in a folder on your web site called 'template'. Obviously these can be renamed to anything you like.

Now forrepparttar 118029 second segment:

<?php include 'template/footer.php'; ?>

Again, we have given an instruction to 'include' a file called 'footer.php' which is also located in a folder called 'template' on your web site, inrepparttar 118030 same directory or folder as your 'index.php' file.

To see these files individually go to: http://www.seazzypromotions.com/example/template/header.php and http://www.seazzypromotions.com/example/template/footer.php

and viewrepparttar 118031 source code on those pages using your web browser.

Now you can add content to your web pages by inserting or copying and pasting existing code betweenrepparttar 118032 PHP segments of your 'index.php' file as shown above.

That is it! To change any information inrepparttar 118033 'header.php' for example, just open that file in an editor and make your changes. Then save and upload 'header.php' torepparttar 118034 'template' folder on your web site.

Go to 'index.php' and all your changes are magically included. You can seerepparttar 118035 benefits of this. If you had a site with 20 pages, all your changes happen on every page by just editing this one 'header.php' file.

Just 'include'repparttar 118036 header and footer files into every other page you make as inrepparttar 118037 'index.php' file, calling your second page for example 'products.php', then 'contact.php' etc. The only thing different between allrepparttar 118038 pages will berepparttar 118039 content you insert betweenrepparttar 118040 header and footer sections.

------------------------------------------------------------

So, if you have put off learning PHP until now, I hope that this has encouraged you to make a start. There are countless other ways to use PHP and maybe one day you could even program your own safelist script using it.

Userepparttar 118041 source fromrepparttar 118042 examples and make changes torepparttar 118043 'header.php' and 'footer.php' files and see this in action for yourself.

Above all have fun!
