I`m a total newbie in php, so sorry for my simple question. Need to know step by step.

EXAMPLE : index.php

<html>

<header>
-including a file (/lang.php for example)
</header>

<body>

<div>
<a href="aboutus.php"> - word1 - </a> | <a href="contact.php"> - word2 - </a>
</div>

</body>
</html>

EXAMPLE : lang.php

word1 = ABOUT US
word2 = CONTACT

How to make this work the most simple way?

    lang.php will be something like:

    <?php
$word1 = "About us";
$word2 = "Contact";
?>

    And in your other file you will have

    <?php
include "lang.php";
?>

<div>
<a href="aboutus.php"> - <?php echo $word1; ?> - </a> | 
   <a href="contact.php"> - <?php echo $word2; ?> - </a>
</div>

    Remember:

    1. variable names in PHP always start with $
    2. PHP code needs to be between <?php and ?> tags (or <? and ?> if your server is configured to accept short tags)
    3. There is no <header> tag in HTML. Maybe you are thinking of <head>. Anyway, include statements do not necessarily need to be in there
