My site utilizes a header.php and footer.php, which I used to use as
an include on every other page of the site; ie,
<html>
<head>
<title>My page</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php include "header.php"; ?>
Body
<?php include "footer.php"; ?>
</body>
</html>
Both the header.php and footer.php includes navigation, logo, the
results of a few cookies and text files, etc.
This worked out great for awhile, but as the traffic increased, it
started forcing the pages to run SLOW. And by "slow," I mean that it
could take 3 or 4 minutes for a page in my message board to open. I
was able to resolve this by taking the header.php file and put it
directly in the message board itself, eliminating the "include" on
that program.
However, this makes it a bit cumbersome to add or modify things in
that section, since now I have to do it twice. So, I'm revisiting the
idea of using a single header.php and footer.php for the entire site.
My message board has has had up to 400 accesses per second before.
That's certainly not an average, but a peak. Knowing this, is there a
smarter way to include a header.php throughout the entire site than
what I posted above?
TIA,
Jason
