How can PHP include statements be used to create and manage fixed areas in a website layout?

To create and manage fixed areas in a website layout using PHP include statements, you can create separate PHP files for each fixed area (such as a header, footer, sidebar, etc.) and then include these files in your main layout file. This way, you can easily update or modify the fixed areas without having to change every page on your website individually. 

// header.php
<nav>
    <ul>
        <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
    </ul>
</nav>

// footer.php
<footer>
    <p>© 2021 My Website</p>
</footer>

// index.php (main layout file)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>My Website</title>
</head>
<body>
    <?php include 'header.php'; ?>
    
    <main>
        <h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</p>
    </main>
    
    <?php include 'footer.php'; ?>
</body>
</html>
