Re: Including header file using HTML

You need to use a server-side language for this as HTML is static and cannot perform dynamic actions.

Re: Including header file using HTML

All you need to do is save you page as "mypage.php" and put this piece of code in for your header and footer:
[php]<?php

include ("includes/header.php");

?>[/php]

Hope this helps
