Normaly the header is written once for a site, then not again until the whole 
thing
is upgraded.  Maybe if you use an environment var, like PHP_SELF or something, 
in
the header.inc.php to do nothing other than an include of the real header file 
for
the site.  Just a thought.

the #phpgroupware channel on irc.openprojects.net is a great place to lurk.

longer linked to from the main page?
