I want to use magento header and footer files(custom theme) in my custom php file. How can I get header and footer. php file location is root folder.

I am using this code 

require("app/Mage.php"); umask(0); Mage::app(); ini_set('display_errors', 1); Mage::getSingleton('core/session', array('name' => 'frontend')); $session = Mage::getSingleton("customer/session"); $layout = Mage::getSingleton('core/layout'); $headerBlock = $layout->createBlock('page/html_header')->setTemplate('page/html/header.phtml'); $currencyBlock = $layout->createBlock('directory/currency')->setTemplate('currency/currency.phtml'); $headerBlock->setChild('currency_selector', $currencyBlock); echo $headerBlock = $headerBlock->toHtml();

You need call design area Mage::app()->loadArea('frontend'); at your script.

<?php include_once "app/Mage.php"; umask(0); Mage::app()->loadArea('frontend'); $layout = Mage::getSingleton('core/layout'); //load default xml layout handle and generate blocks $layout->getUpdate()->load('default'); $layout->generateXml()->generateBlocks(); //get the loaded head and header blocks and output $headBlock = $layout->getBlock('head'); $headerBlock = $layout->getBlock('header'); echo $headBlock->toHtml() . $headerBlock->toHtml();

get footer 

$footerBlock = $layout->getBlock('footer'); echo $footerBlock->toHtml();

I hope this will help you.

Pushpendra Singh ,As @denish says,You have missed to call design area as fronted Mage::app()->loadArea('frontend');

Also,You have call the layout then no need to create blocks ('page/html_header','directory/currency') again using page/html_header, etc if it is already called at your design area.Just need to loaded those blocks using getBlock('');

$headerBlock = $layout->getBlock('header');

etc.If want to add new add block which does not ,you frontend area section then use createBlock() AND setChild FOR ADD ON EXITING LAYOUT
