Jumping to a page back: Strange behavior of Firefox and InternetExplorer

In all your html files (even though they might end in .php) at the
point at which you would normally have something like

<ul class="footer">
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
</ul>

you instead put

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

I'd suggest using '...' rather than "..." when offering "cut-and-paste"
code since there is only one special case with '...' quotes. Windows
users in particular may fall foul of writing "includes\footer.inc" with
unintended effects. Also (minor point) include is not a function but a
control structure, so the brackets are not needed. The ; is also
optional at the end of PHP section, so the simplest include looks like
this:

<?php include 'includes/footer.inc' ?>

I think it helps to make it all seem slightly less magical.

I was not offering cut and paste code. I was pretending to be human
and assuming that another human reading me would understand that where
I had "..." they would have text, simple as that. But what do I know,
your knowledge of these things is likely greater as you are likely a
real human unlike my cheating self.

True. I was looking for a simple something in a url to refer OP to but
gave up and wrote a cheating mini one for him but not before lazily
cutting and pasting the above from an example in some page that was
not too unreasonable.

Depends on your understanding of magic. Perhaps the pretty and
extravagant

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

would more magical. Perhaps in the world of magic, Ockham's Blooming
rather Ockham's Razor operates.

Perhaps, humans do not grok magic well in spite of all their religious
efforts.
