php help

Posted 08 January 2002 - 07:39 PM

I'm designing my site in php to make it easier for me to make changes to the site and not have to update every page.

right now i'm using the php include function and having some problems heres a little example of what i'm doing

<html>
<head>
<body>
<table>
<? include("theurl.com/file.txt"); ?>
</table>
<table>
<Td width=20%>
<table>
<? include("theurl.com/file.txt"); ?></table></td>
<td width=60%>
The MEAT OF THE PAGE!</td>
<td width=20%>
<table>
<? include("theurl.com/file.txt"); ?>
</table>
</body>
</html>

as you can probably tell i'm using the 3 collums design

My problem is when i load the page i don't get 3 collums i get 1 first collum, below that the meat part and below that the right collum.

Anyone have a better way of doing this or show me how to fix it?

(fixed your code tags and turned of emoticons)

<table width="95%" border="0">
  <tr>
    <td><? include("theurl.com/file.txt"; ?></td>
    <td><? include("theurl.com/file.txt"; ?></td>
    <td><? include("theurl.com/file.txt"; ?></td>
  </tr>
</table>

I highly suggest not including just text files.  I would call the .inc files and set up your mime types to parse them, then you can have html, php, ssi or whatever in them.

If you call your files .inc or .php, they will get processed as php files (if you server is set up like that. Check with whoever runs it).  Then you can put PHP or HTML or whatever in those files as well, so it's like another template.
