Learning new ways?

[aSpire2004]

Frames, although a very popular tool for laying out Web pages, had a very short life as a standard tool in Web design. They were only made part of the HTML standard in HTML 4.0. They were subsequently removed from the standard for XHTML 1.0.
Frames allow a browser window to be subdivided into multiple document display windows. Since these windows are in the same parent window, they can interact in ways not normally available to documents open in different windows.
The most common use for frames is to put a menu in one frame, and the contents in another so that the navigation menu does not have to be included in every page written out. This makes maintenance and navigation easier. With advances in server-side scripting languages there are now better ways to do the same thing.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction for learning how to do this, using server side scripting to replace frames that is..?

Thanks in advance

I believe PHP Includes now do the same job - allowing a standard header, footer, navigation etc to be called instead of reloading pages from scratch.

I could be wrong on this but that's what they appear to do... Unless I've been using them wrongly for about a year
