Is there anyway of using say PHP to make a template file and use a line of code that inserts text into the html from a simple text file? 
If that makes any sense...

write the template in html, name it .php and then where you want to insert the text use the following command
| Code Sample |
<? include("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/path/filename"); ?> |
Easy as pie.
edit: made the code stand out

Holy shit! To easy! Thanks heaps!
Shouldn't that read:
<?php
include("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/path/filename");
?>
?
Thanks a million!

Woohoo! It worked!It works with html as well.
Is there a way to do this with only using one template?
So that every html file is opened in that ONE template?
Like on some sites I see the link that ends with: file.php?=100
How do I do that?

1.) you don't need the "php" in the <? tags...it works fine w/out it2.) I actually do it backwards from what you're asking. What I do is I put all "common" design and layout elements before the page content into a header file, and all the layout stuff after the page content into a footer file. Then, each individual display file looks like this.
| Code Sample |
<? include("/SSIdirectory/header.php"); ?> page content, page content, page content, page content, page content, page content, page content, page content, page content, page content, page content, page content, <? include("/SSIdirectory/footer.php"); ?> |
bam! now any layout/logo/color/design changes are only made in 1 file, and are reflected througout the site. The file.php=100 is simply passing an arguement to the script, you can do all sorts of stuff w/that. If you want some examples of PHP and these kinds of things, email me at beldurin@packethell.com. Hope that helps!
