Uncharacteristically newbish question from me...

[Dean C]

If you include global.php there is no need to call the header and footer templates...

You can just call the template you need for your page and obviously create it and then stick $header and $footer in the template when you want them

Remember when calling a template in a file if it's being called all the time then add a $templatesused variable which includes the names of the templates called in the file
