What i usually do, is make a file layout.php with a couple of
functions, header() footer() etc.
then i include ('layout.php') and call the functions when i need them
and i can send things to the header, like the page title etc.
include ('layout.php');
header("Home");
blablablab
footer();
i hope this is about what you mean
