I do the following and it seems to work OK:
I put the following two lines at the top of each script:
$defsPath = "[my include path]defs/";
include_once($defsPath."globals.php3");
...and later a call to a function I wrote ( printNavLinks() ) that outputs
whatever I want in the header/footer. The function is defined in another
include file included by globals.php3.

Hey Tom.
Thanks for the idea; however, since we're not hosting the site on our own
server, we don't have permissions for altering the php.ini file..........
