As I now have the new web server back up and running, I thought I would simplify the maintenance needed to update the html files by putting all the html head info in one php file, and all the tail stuff in another. Works a treat, and cuts the size of my html files by 2/3rds. It also keeps the site layout uniform with all info only being in one file or the other. (see the source of any of the 4 pages on my site to see what I am on about)
You may also want to consider server-side-includes, if the server supports it. Especially if you've no 'active' php content on the server - just static HTML.
This is how my (poor excuse) of a website www.drogon.net is constructed... In the index.html file for each topic, there is something approximating:
<!--#include file="header.ssi"-->
<div id="right">
<!--#include file="rightMenu.ssi"-->
<!--#include file="contactBlock.ssi"-->
<!--#include file="linksBlock.ssi"-->
<!--#include file="devon.ssi"-->
</div>
A bit less server overhead than running up PHP just to include a few
files... But if you're already using PHP, then that's fine too.
