[nycbug-talk] Simple PHP-based website

[Matt Juszczak]

I'm writing a PHP-based website for a small start-up company.  The website 
is for the most part static content, with a little dynamic content on the 
sides here and there.

Now, for a complex dynamic PHP/MySQL/AJAX based website, I would use some 
sort of templating system or something, but I feel like doing that would 
be overkill for a project like this.

I've even thought of writing a "fake" modularized setup - where each area 
of the site is simply a PHP include which I can then branch out.  But 
then, I feel like once again, even that's overkill if the content isn't 
changing from page load to page load.

So now, I've resorted to possibly just using a header/footer type setup. 
Do people even use that anymore?  Is that kind of setup frowned upon 
nowadays?

Thanks for any advice!
