Something like this:
Open a new file in Notepad, save it as index.php and put this in it:
<?php
include("header.inc");
?>
<h3>This is the main content of your page</h3>
<p>If you right click me and choose View Source, you'll see that I've stuck three bits of HTML together to make a web page!</p>
<?php
include("footer.inc");
?>
Now make another file called header.inc and put this in it:
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Page Type Thing</title>
</head>
<body>
Finally, make another file called footer.inc and put this in it:
*
*</body>
</html>
Upload all three files to a folder on the server, ensure that they're all in the same folder together and then go to that page on the server.
That's all there is to it. Can be made as simple or as complicated as you like.
