    I'm not an expert on all of this, but it seems to me that it could be done more simply with ".ssi" files.

    Simply write a header.ssi and a footer.ssi file. Then, assuming that the pages have a header and footer now, use some good text editor with a search and replace function and replace each header and footer with the appropriate ".ssi" file?

    thats an idea, use SSI includes, althought PHP has a better performance and many servers have SSI disabbled.

    Do you have a header and footer file setup, and do you have PHP running?

    No idea to be honest... Someone had the better idea (somewhere in this thread) of doing it at the Apache level, rather than with PHP. Which actually is a better idea..

    I am using digital point's method. It works great, but it applys the header and footer to all file types, including MP3's. Considering I have people hosting there files on my site, this is a problem. How do I restrict it to only specified file types?

    Hello. Take a look at mod_layout. http://tangent.org/index.pl?lastnode_id=478&node_id=362
    
mod_layout is an Apache module that provides both 
a Footer and Header directive to automagically include 
output from other URIs at the beginning and ending of a
 Web page. It can be used to wrap documents for a 
standard look and feel for a site (or to insert banners
 on any given document in a site). Currently known to 
support mod_perl, PHP and Apache JServ. Should 
support just about any type of handler.

    I looked into the module, but I can not use it because I do not have access to httpd.conf. Any other solutions?

    PHP has better performance only if your pages are already PHP. Otherwise, SSI is just as efficient.

    Shawn's solution seems like the best way to go, without manually adding to each file.

    Also you could use a solution such as index.php?module=pagename

    where it would load the pagename.php. Though unless you use a select case that has security risks.

    Pm me if u need more help
