There must be a better way, please help

Ok, I have a main page and then other pages which are the exact same code except for one little difference in the php code for the main content. Because what I have is a main page and then people can select what category they want and then that page only diplays that category. So each category has its own page that is exactly the same as the main page.
The problem lies when I change the main page. I then have to make the same exact changes to all of the category pages. This is a real pain. Is there any easier way to do this?
Thanks

Are you using the include function or is each page complete.
Better yet post a url.

example of how to use includes:
PHP Code:
<?php include(header.php);?>
<?php /* minor code change per page you were talking about*/ ?>
<?php include(footer.php);?>
The header and footer would then all be exactly the same. and it's only one file to change. |

the include method is a very good idea, but if that doesn't work post the url like colbyt said.

Whoops, I must have forgot to post the url.
here it is: http://www.thelnews.com
that is the main page
then here is one of the category pages.
http://www.thelnews.com/category/hardware.php
If you look there is almost no difference
the only difference is this:
Code:
<?php
$number = 4
category ="2" the number of the category changes thats it
lsdjkffasdfjpsd then i forget what is here but you get the idea
?>
So you see it is a mega pain if I make a littel change to the main page I have to make the same change for all of these pages. |

I like alikat suggested, but could you explain that in a little more detail.
Do I just have a include for all of the elements?

if this is the code that changes:
PHP Code:
<?php
$number = 4
category ="2" the number of the category changes thats it
lsdjkffasdfjpsd then i forget what is here but you get the idea
?>
Then it would look like:
PHP Code:
<?php
include(header.php);
$number = 4
category ="2" the number of the category changes thats it
lsdjkffasdfjpsd then i forget what is here but you get the idea
include(footer.php);
?>
Where header.php contains all the information ABOVE the changing content and footer.php contains the information BELOW the changing content. |

But header and footer don't exsist, and how would it know to get the HTML code. These are seperate files.

You will find that the change between the homepage and the category page is minimal. The change occurs in the main section.

Yes there is a easiest way! When u design your website upto 10 pages or more then you must make your template file ext ".tmp" and start designing your website in this file and save your file as ".htm" or ".html". Simple is that.

How do you make a template file. Just go with the assumption that I am stupid and don't know anything because you guys are not explaining this very well.
Thanks for the help but please explain better.

well that makes more sense, but for the main page and the category page I still have all of the header and footer code right? Like What code goes where? This is probably so simple and I just am missing somthing.

it's ALL there. you know what an include does you have it in your page already.
if you include header and footer into your main and category pages it will show up. The code is ALL there.
