    It’s almost always a good idea to split things up this. My typical “simple” site layout has a header, a footer, and a body, each with its own files. It’s rare for more than a couple pages to have different headers/footers, so almost every page ends up looking like:

    <?php  include('header.inc'); ?>
body goes here
<?php include('footer.inc'); ?>

    And the header/footer files boil down to <html><body> and </body></html> respectively (with all the usual css/javascript/meta/headers, etc… of course).

    Nothing wrong with keeping everything in a single file, but then you’d have to hard-code your menus/sidebars/footers/headers/etc… into every PHP file.
