The best way.... ?

[Jon Roobottom]

Just thinking about making the lives of the web developer easier...

Whats the best way of building a site so re-used static items are easily updateable... ?

For example:

Navigation..
Fave sites drop down..
footers...
etc...

I've used..

PHP Includes
SSI
Dreamweaver Templates (although this can't cope with changeable head content)
Frames
iFrames

So, what does everyone else use???

I use php includes, none of the others.

includes of some sort, iFrames look rubbish most of the time.

I use php includes, my work uses coldfusion's cfinclude tag,
They're pretty much the same

I've used iframes up until now, always thought I was weird or lazy for doing so...

Can someone post an example of a php include for me to play around with?

And also... iframes can look good! If all the right parameters are tweaked...

Here's a good read on converting a site to php using includes
