Just one thing to add here:
My query is:
If i load the header as .HTM does it put the included file through the
PHP parser. I have the includes as .PHP at present. There is nothing php
in the header or footer as yet. I am looking at saving the server
some cycles by doing this.
Not sure exactly how
So just so I'm clear on your files...
Let's say you have a file, index.php. This file has an include statement for
'header.htm'.
Your question is does it matter if the header.htm is just HTML and does not contain
and PHP?
No it does not matter. But the URL must be pointed to the index.php PHP
