php include()?

Using output buffering (as in the example of the default phpinclude_start) for both header and footer, to evaluate them to like, $yoursite_footer, $yoursite_header, and put them in the header template.

can you not just edit the header in the style?

You can't use PHP in the normal templates, only phpinclude_start and _end. As merk said, use output buffering to assign the output to a variable, then use the variable where you want it to show up.

I think hunter was talking about why not just put whatever header you output from the php file into the header template, instead of my method.

Which doesnt always work if you generate the header on the fly

true, but it's a lot easier than trying to work with php includes

Not if you have code that already generates complex header and footer code.
