Is there a way I can have a header and sidebar that is called up on every page from a single location in html without resorting to frames?
At the moment if i ned to make a change to my sidebar say, I have to go through every page in turn making said change which is tedious at best.

There are two ways to do this - server side includes or PHP. I forget what the SSI syntax is but you can look it up. For PHP it just looks like this:
<?phpinclude "yourfile.html";
?>
'
Of course, now all your files need to have .php extensions.

Sweeeet, thanks Megan
Is there a simple way/program for viewing .php pages without php installed. In otherwords on my home PC without having to upload them to the server?

Yes you can get a combined apache mysql server set up that will install on your machine and parse the pages nicely for you.
But I am buggered if I can remember the name of the script

Ah ok, so I guess the only way is to install server software. I was hoping there might be a php editor type program which could emulate a server running php but hey ho.
I actually stumbled across that yesterday, does look pretty simple to install. I guess that's the way forward then. Cheers guys

Which is best? Currently I'm using php includes, but should I be using server side includes instead?
