That works. I did something similar, not to add headers and footers, but to implement a simple templating system -- the HTML pages had text like __FIRSTNAME__ and __LASTNAME__ which had to be replaced with session variables. The site owner had some very strange ideas about how they wanted to design their site, and wanted to do the whole thing in FrontPage, yet customize pages using data from a PHP-based login. The basic idea is that the customer uploads pages (a few hundred of 'em) all under their DocumentRoot. I've got stuff like: $base="http://www.example.com";; // URL *without* trailing backslash $qu="'" . '"'; $href="(<a href=[$qu ]*)($base)?/?([^$qu ]+\.html?)"; $repl="\\1/show.php?what=\\3"; if (!file_exists($f)) { header("Location: $base/show.php?err=missing%20file:%20$f"); } else if ($fd=file_get_contents($f)) { $fd = str_replace("__FIRSTNAME__", $_SESSION['fname'], $fd); $fd = str_replace("__LISTNAME__", $_SESSION['lname'], $fd); print $fd; } You could of course hide the URLs behind mod_rewrite with something like RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/.+\.php - [L] RewriteRule ^/(.+\.html) /show.php\?f=$1 [L] You could also make the arrays of the str_replace search and replace fields, if you had multiple things to change. But back to your issue -- Instead of __FIRSTNAME__ and __LASTNAME__, just manipulate <body> and </body>, as you did with output buffering. I'm not sure if either solution has a performance edge over the other. In both cases, each of the HTML and PHP file get loaded once per page view, and whether the translation happens in PHP's output buffering or via mod_rewrite is probably insignificant. As always, multiple solutions to every problem. :) -- Paul Chvostek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Operations / Abuse / Whatever it.canada, hosting and development http://www.it.ca/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
