It's not complicated after the first week. I d/led XAMPP (which I see
you can get for OS X) and went from there.
I don't keep duplicate full hard coded html pages (never thought of it
- now I'll probably worry about it). Thanks for that.

Tell me about it. <rhetorical>Do you think the PHP manual is
*deliberately* hard to get your head around?</rhetorical> I finally got
a handle on the whole thing via a tutorial at (of all places) a porn

even find the tutoral there any more. Pity.

- and I'm a silly bugger. For some reason (probably related to soaking
in the bath too long) I decided that when you clearly and repeatedly
said "footers", you must have meant "navigation menus".
If all you want to do is put a footer on every page, cut and paste is a
good thing unless and until you have done all the stuff you talked about
*way up there*.
