include standard headers and footers on every page?

Is there a way to configure apache to always include a standard header
and footer on every page served?

We have several different departments using our webserver and want
everyone to have a consistent look to their site. Unfortunately
department webmasters have ignored pleas to include our standard
headers and footers.

The other thing is what if I want to do this only on certain
directories?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know if there is a way to have Apache magically slap in headers &
footers appear in every page it serves.

However, you can simply slap SSI (Server Side Includes) into your pages to
insert headers & footers. Of course includes must be active for Apache in
one way or another (Options +Includes)

The method below pulls content from a text file within a specific path:
