<?php
$pagename = '';
if (isset($_GET['pagename'])) {
$pagename = strtolower($_GET['pagename']);
}
switch ($pagename) {
// hardcode the pages you *know* exist.
// don't just "include $pagename.php"
// as i can make up a "pagename" of whatever i like
// and it will break your site
// i know "web.php" and "software.php" exist
// so if the pagename is one of those,
// just include the relevant file.
case 'web':
case 'software':
include($pagename.'.php');
break;
// just in case I remove the "pagename" variable from the query string
// or make up a random pagename
// make sure you set up some default values!
default:
include('defaults.php');

<html>
<head>
<title>
<?php echo $title; ?>
</title>
...
<body>
<?php
echo $content;
include 'footer.php';
inside the 'web.php' and 'software.php' files, set your variables:
in web.php:
<?php
$title = 'This is the "web.php" page title';
$keywords = 'These are the keywords for the web.php page';
$content = <<<EOD
This is the content of the page.

EOD;
and to the same inside the software.php and any other files you need.
