5,179 PointsDo we include everything in the 'include' header that we'd normally include in the header of the html document?
Hi, Someone previously asked about including the DOCTYPE declaration in the PHP include file (yes)...but I was wondering about everything else that we normally stick in the header. This PHP header approach is new to me and I like it but I want to make sure I don't miss anything.
So, does everything else go in: META tags, fonts to load, etc. ? My gut tells me yes- that all clients (from PC users to web crawlers) experience and treat index.php's and index.html's exactly that same way.
And in a related question, I assume that if so, there is no implication with SEO?

Including files like HEADER, FOOTER, SIDEBAR, CONTENT is assembling website.
Create one index.html file (like you will regulary create, with title, metas, etc) , and then create index.php (chop header and footer into separate files, and then include them into index.php).
When you finish with that, go to the both files (index.html and index.php) , and use VIEW PAGE SOURCE.
You will notice that the both files looks the same. And that is the answer.
