[snip] Yes it can be done, using the auto-prepend feature call a script that turns output buffering on. Then in the auto-appended script read the buffer a manipulate ith with the automatic header and footer. Thus you modify the content only and achieve what you want without modifying the actual HTML file. [/snip]
There are so many ways to skin this cat. You could (as you said, it will require adding HTML to the list of php parsed file types) have the header, body, and footer files read into a single file and then output. You could do something like this ... (a lot of folks use the following simple method to include navigation in web pages)... <html> <head></head> <body> <?php include("headerfile.inc"); ?> ... other html ... ... other html ... ... other html ... ... other html ... <?php include("footerfile.inc"); ?> </body> </html> I do not think that this needs to be difficult, but if you want more complexity you could have it.
