##somepage.php:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>No Frames</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php include_once(navbar.php); ?>
<p>The rest of my page content...</p>
</body>
</html>
##navbar.php:
<div class="navbar">
<ul>
<li><a href="page1.php">Page 1</a></li>
<li><a href="page2.php">Page 2</a></li>
<li><a href="page3.php">Page 3</a></li>
<li><a href="page4.php">Page 4</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
Note for future enhancements:
Use an array or object for navigation links so that you can test for
what page you are currently on and either skip that link in your menu or
generate at as text and not a link to indicate that page you are on! Far
superior to frames.

Take care,
