If you do Google and read about includes, be they SSI, PHP or other
server-side scripting, your will learn that the parts to be included,
are just that parts. Only put the markup for the part that is to be
inserted, i.e., for a navbar included there would only be a UL of links
with not HTML HEAD BODY on other elements...
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en-us">
<title>Sample Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php include_once('/common/header.php'); ?>
<h1>A Sample PHP Include Page</h1>
<?php include_once('/common/navbar.php'); ?>
<p>
The rest of your page...
</p>
<?php include_once('/common/footer.php'); ?>
</body>
</html>

Take care,
