How to insert generated pages into existing website?

Hi Folks

I am trying to figure out how to insert generated pages into an existing website. I know how to turn off the header/footer when generating. I thought maybe I had to add the existing header info to the Global header section, but then I end up with two body tags, etc.

Is there a tutorial or something I'm missing that could step me through it? I don't want or need to modify the actual table information generated by PHPMAker, just be able to insert it into the website design.

Thanks,
Matthew

If you want to include the PHPMaker generated pages into your own page, you may use php include (see http://php.net/manual/en/function.include.php).

If the existing website is generated by PHPMaker, since the generated scripts (with no header/footer) uses include_once "header/footer.php", there will not be 2 <body> tags. But if the website is your own, you do need to customize the header/footer.php so they will not output the <body> tags.

Alternatively, you can customize template.php in template to suit your existing website, read Customizing Template in the help file.
