in your page:

<body>
  <?php include 'header.php'; ?>

in your header.php

<div id="header">
   <!-- content -->
   <?php echo "run php stuff too"; ?>
</div>

Answer 2

+4 A:

You should put the header html code in some file such as header.php and then include it with php like:

include ('header.php');

You should specify the correct path there, for example, if you put the header.php file in includes folder, you can include it like:

include ('inclues/header.php');

Put in a separate file and use include, require or require_once.

Answer 4

A:

Look into PHP includes.

The way I normally do it is to create a file called includes.php with two functions header() and footer(), then call them on each page like such:

includes.php:

<?php
function header(){
   echo '<div id="header">Welcome</div>';
}

function footer(){
   echo '<div id="footer">Goodbye</div>';
}
?>

index.php:

<?php
   include_once('includes.php');
   header();
   echo '<div id="content">Main page body</div>';
   footer();

?>
