RE: [PHP] Wrap content with a layout file
I generally do the same - have a header and footer file which create a three column table. The content then fits into the central column. Other ways of doing this might be to use frames (though many disapprove of frames) or to use the iframe tag - the latter is something I only recently became aware of but can be quite useful and is not as messy as frames.

Re: [PHP] Wrap content with a layout file
Generally I like to have header and footer, but you should look at the
template engines out there (smarty for example) for some inspiration.
This for example, would work fine for a WIDE range of pages:
file.php?include=something:
?
$include = $_GET['include'];
$file = path/to/my/dir/{$include}.html;
if(!file_exists($file)) { $file = path/to/my/dir/error.html; }
?
html
...
? include($file); ?
...
/html
Some prefer one style others prefer another.
