Including the standard web layout 

To include the standard DACC layout (as seen on this page) in your own web pages, use this as an example:

<?php
$pagetitle = "Nuclear Physics Department";
include("/www/header.php");
?>

Web page content (pictures, text, links, et cetera)...

<?php
include("/www/footer.php");
?>

Important! Pages are normally named with an ".htm" or ".html" extension; but pages that include this header must be named with an ".php" extension instead. Example: "index.php". If this extension is not used, then the layout will not appear and the page will not work properly. Note: Sub-pages that do not use the header can still have the standard ".html" extension.

Note that with this technique, the header itself will not actually be in your HTML file. This way, if a change is made to the DACC header, this change will appear everywhere, throughout the site, automatically -- instead of having to be changed manually on every single page that uses it. The latter would lead to pages being missed, keying errors, inconsistencies, et cetera.

Any questions about DACC's web site or other network services should be directed to Jeff Williams (jeff@dacc.edu).
