your php file needs to have

require( './global.php' );

then it should eval a tempate ie:

eval( "dooutput( \"" . gettemplate( 'yourtemplatenamehere' ) . "\" );" );

then you have to create a new template ( admin cp > style options > add template ) and that template name needs to go in the eval function as in the code stated above "yourtemplatename"

then in that template for the header its

$header

and the footer is

$footer
