Displaying certain content on multiple pages

Hi, I am trying to do multi content display and not sure how I would go about it. Im assuming i need to do this in php as I do not think html/css will do this.
Basicall , a layout very simply of:
index.html
page1.html
When page1.html is changed I want a certain part of to show in index.html. At the moment i think I can get away with the first line of page1.html needing to be included in index.html.
Obviously I could get around it by having a common file like show.html being included in both page1 and index.html but, this would be rather clumsy way of doing it for my needs.

You're right that PHP can help you out. This is frequently used for sections like header/navigation/footer that would be consistent throughout. You would use what are known as php includes...to "include" parts on a page.
Here's a good tutorial:http://www.tizag.com/phpT/include.php
