You will create two files header.php and footer.php.
Create a folder “include” in your theme directory.
Suppose that your theme directory is “aviweb” sites/all/themes/aviweb. Put header.php and footer.php file in “sites/all/themes/aviweb/include” theme folder.
By using html and php you can write code in header.php and footer.php.
Now you can include both files in page.tpl.php in header area and footer area like PHP.

<?php include_once($theme_path.’/include/header.php’); ?>

<?php include_once($theme_path.’/include/footer.php’); ?>

Make a backup of your Drupal instance (database).
Set your site on maintenance mode.(Click here)
Delete all the files & folders inside your original Drupal instance except for /sites and its sub-folders.
Warning: If your Drupal installation is built from a distribution your site will break if you delete the /profiles folder. Don’t delete the profile folder that corresponds to the distribution you installed, for example /profiles/kickstart if you installed Drupal Commerce Kickstart.
Copy all the folders and files except /sites from inside the extracted Drupal package [tar ball or zip package] into your original Drupal instance location.
Some updates do not include changes to setting.php and some do. If the update release includes changes to settings.php you will need to replace your old settings.php in …/sites/default/ with the new one, and then edit the site-specific entries (eg database name, user, and password) in the setting file.
If you have modified files such as .htaccess or robots.txt re-apply those changes to the new files.
If you have a favicon.ico file that was deleted replace it too
Login to your site as administrator
Run “update.php” by navigating to http://yourdrupalsitename/update.php and follow the process to update your Drupal instance
Disable maintenance mode.
