1. Install wordpress and phpbb as normal.
2. Make sure you are logged out of wordpress (otherwise you will get a gap at the top of your phpbb header, where the wordpress admin bar would go).
3. Now go to your wordpress blog page, (when you are logged out of wordpress admin) and right click, go to view source.
4. Copy the source from the top of the page until you see a div like page content etc (will vary on your theme), remember we just want the header.
5. Now paste that right at the top of your your overall_header.php in your phpbb template.
6. Now go to your phpbb admin, and go to styles, then templates, click refresh on your current template, so that the overall_header.php will be re-cached with the changes we have made.
7. You can do the footer in the same way, copy the footer html from the wordpress page that you want to use, and add it to overall_footer.php.
8. You can ever get the same styles by linking your css file from your blog to phpbb.

You should now be able to link to your phpbb and it will have a wordpress header.
