PHPRunner General questions

Anyone have a good suggestion here?
There seems to be two ways to integrate phprunner and a web site system. Currently I'm finding a lot of great effort in using phprunner and I'm using concrete5 for the CMS side. I would guess this would be the same issue with joomla, wordpress, etc..
You can:

  1. add header and footer text into PHP which looks like the website style
  2. use the web site and connect php with a dynamic (even auto height dynamic iframe "block" in concrete5)
    but really neither of those are great and it seems like this causes a big loss of potential.
    The problem with #1 is that you have to redo it each time for changes to the template and a CMS like, the php and style sheets need to share you need more than one insert of code above and below.
    method 2 a iframe causes the site to be jumpy and width is still a problem. Generally mobile doesn't work either. If often is going to end up with scroll bars inside the page and in the browser, which seems odd to me.
    Anybody got a suggestion? Anybody got a demo?
    Thanks!

Not really a direct answer to your specific CMS needs, yet maybe a good guide.

You got it right, there two primary methods of integration and neither of them is perfect. I think that iframe that can change width/height dynamically is the best option.

contains that very video the forum admin had been asking for under http://www.asprunner.com/forums/topic/21774-embedding-the-app/ very few days ago to see with his own eyes of what the obviously abandoned 2009 project result is all about in motion, being direct to the keywords “"Dynamic Iframed Content”".

Anyway, rather to contribute here with a maybe too complicated solution on your CMS blogging issue, the “walk2fly” interest in such Iframe technology here is solely a commercial one, as a BITCOIN shop account had been installed where “Iframed invoicing on a smartphone display”issue is currently limited, web technically speaking, to only one item per purchase transaction, thanks to said "Iframe Limitations" and hence a kind of BOTTLENECK situation on sales issues results at their end for the time being.

I prefer to say they are both "nearly perfect" and maybe that's my situation.. too close to give up on.
I'd even tried wget of a similar page from the CMS as a "prebuild" header footer step and editing a new footer and header from that page. I found I needed to do a lot more than I was willing to do and not a lot of confidence the "try" would work. I basically needed to figure out how to merge the stuff inside the html header section for ccs style etc.
Give that both are php tools, I was thinking I should really only need to place html (not iframe) that calls the php with expectations that the header, scripts, css and other stuff were considered.
I guess I'm hoping for something that's "impossible"? The key issue seems to be that both tools (phprunner and the CMS need to "merge" the parts outside the phprunner section.. aka the stuff in the header.
