Answer 1

Put code in local.xml() (app/design/frontend/{your theme}/default/layout/local.xml)

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<default>
<reference name="footer">
<block type="core/template" name="mylogic" template="mylogic/mylogic.phtml"/>
</reference>
</default>
</layout>

write this in your footer.html

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('mylogic') ?>
