Is page_header.php redundant?

[Verteron]

Just a thought - now you're using includes for the necesary templates to generate the page headers and footers each time, isn't includes/page_header.php a little redundant?

Surely better to move the GZIP, header, and the various template generation stuff to somewhere before $template->display('body'); in page_tail.php? It would work fine without any changes to other code.

Not a big thing, but it would cut your number of includes by one on each page. Maybe a little more speed, and a bit more neatness

If it needs to be included/generated, it needs to be done anyway.

But no, page_header.php isn't redundant as it's the page that does all the sessions, cookies and stuff and thus needs to be the very first file PHP outputs anything from.

No, common.php does that :p

The code is required, obviously... but the point I'm making is that the code could be put into page_tail.php without any problems.
