I’m new in php and html scripting, so I would like to know if someone could give me an advice about how to set up my page structure.

I need to create a page with an header and a footer, a left-page menu and a main section where the contents of the site are displayed.

I thought about a frameset like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//IT” “http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd”>

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1?>
<title>Framesets</title>
</head>

<frameset rows=”20%,70%,10%”>
<frame src=header.php>
     <frameset cols=”20%,80%”>
     <frame src=menu.php>
     <frame src=main.php>
    </frameset>
 <frame src=footer.php>
</frameset>
<noframes></noframes>
</html>

When someone click on a link displayed on the menu.php section, only the main.php section will be called with different options (or I can call different php pages, one per choice), but I’m not sure this is the best solution, can anyone give me some advices?

(sorry for my english!)

    you really don’t need frames,
    maybe rather try something like this for this kind of page layout:

    http://jsfiddle.net/YAxQM/

    HTML

    <header>
  <?php include('header.php') ?>
</header>
<div class="main">
  <nav>
   <?php include('menu.php') ?>
  </nav>
  <div class="content">
    <?php include('main.php') ?>
  </div>
</div>
<footer>
  <?php include('footer.php') ?>
</footer>​

    CSS

    html, body{
  height: 100%;  
}
header{
   height: 20%;
}
.main{
   height: 70%;
}
footer{
   height: 10%;
}
nav{
  width: 20%;
  height: 100%;
  float: left;
}
