well without seeing your code, it is hard to tell, exept that you have got
something wrong :) . Have you considered using some existing template
system for php?

If it's any help I would recommend a different method, not necessarily
better for everyone, but for me.
Create a HTML template in your authoring packaging, preferably using CSS.
Then in place your own tags anywhere on the page, where you would like to
swap the tag for some variable.
e.g. {{pagetitle}} or {{pagetext}}
Then save that as a file called template.htm
Then read your template.htm file in as array, get your pagetitle and
pagetext (+ other variables) from your database (I assume) and use
preg_replace to change over your tags to the appropriate string. (see
below). Then you just have to output your page!
Nel
$template = "";
$temp = file($setuptemplate);
foreach($temp as $line) { $template .= $line; }
// update template with menus and content
$pat = array("/{{pagetext}}/s",
"/{{pagetitle}}/s",
"/{{topmenuh}}/s",
"/{{topmenuv}}/s",
"/{{submenuh}}/s",
"/{{submenuv}}/s"
);
$rep = array("$pagetext",
"$pagetitle",
"$topmenuh",
$topmenuv,
"$submenuh",
$submenuv
);
// replace all occurrences of search patterns with according replacements
$template = preg_replace($pat, $rep, $template);
echo $template;
Forgot to say, main advantage of preg_replacing your own tags is that you
don't have to split your template in to a header and footer, so you can
change the template simply by loading any new html page containing your
tags.
Nel.
actually the html work well: http://www.yehiaeg.com/focusonvbs/version.htm,

Your problem is with the HTML, not the PHP. Delete the </table> tag at the
end of temp1.inc, and that should fix the biggest layout errors.

Evidently, you didn't do quite what you say you did.
Take the pages as produced in your browser. Save each -- the working HTML
file and the PHP file that doesn't quite work -- and compare the two
documents. (here is where a Unix-like OS comes in handy: use the diff
command. Or are you using Windows?)
diff desc.htm test.php.html | less
Compare the two files *carefully*!! Look at the differences -- there are
MANY. There should be NONE! You want the final output from your PHP page
to look EXACTLY like the original HTML page, but it doesn't.
So, then, my question to you is: How can your PHP page end up looking
exactly like your HTML draft page?

Templates are one of the most controversial topic, at least in
this group. For example,

Okay, how about doing the reverse of what you're trying to do?
The way I do simple "include style" templates is this:
You've got the HTML template you'd like to use, call that 'index.php'
Insert this code at the top:
$strPage=trim($_GET["p"]);
if (strlen($strPage)==0) {$strPage="main";} //This is your default page
if (!file_exists("pages/{$strPage}.php")) {$strPage="404";}
Create a folder called 'pages' in the folder of 'index.php'
Place your pages in that folder, all with a '.php' extension.
Make sure you make one called "404.php" for when a user tries a URL
where a page is missing.
In 'index.php' replace the content area of your template with:
<?php include ("pages/{$strPage}.php"); ?>
From then on, you can access pages by using 'index.php?p=pagename'
This saves you from using two pages for your template.
Things to keep in mind:
When submitting a FORM using METHOD="GET", make sure you have a INPUT
tag of TYPE="HIDDEN", NAME="p", and VALUE="pagename" (If you don't then
you'll not submit to the page you want to)
You can't set headers/cookies in your pages, as output takes place
before the page is included, though there are many ways of working
around it..

urgh... replace substr with strpos
ok, i did copy them EXACTLY and it kinda worked but still have some
questions:
1.when using javascript in a php file should i write like this
<script language="javascript> <!-- some function --> </script>
or like this <script language="javascript"> some function </script>
2. somethings may vary from one page to another besides its content
like the page title, what is the simplest way to do this?
i read about sending arguments to the php file and then assign to the
page title, but this not really neat, what if i want to make it a long
title:
test.php?pagetitle=This a really long title, really long
one............
Anyother wahy to do this?
my questions might look stupid but i'm just really a beginner in php,
Thanks

Have you thought of using the Smarty template system?
http://smarty.php.net/
It's really easy to get going with it and does what Nel has recommended.

1. Either will work, the commented version is better for browsers though.
2. Create another folder (like pages, but call this one 'headers' or
such. Then add this code underneath where $strPage is assigned:
if (file_exists("headers/{$strPage}.php"))
{include("headers/{$strPage}.php");}
The .php in the headers folder would need to be pure php (no out put, no
empty spaces before/after the PHP tags).
Inside the PHP, you could have
<?php $strTitle = "Different Title"; ?>
Then, in your template page where you set your title, you could have
something like this:
<TITLE><?php if (strlen(trim(@$strTitle))>0) {print
$strTitle;}else{print "Normal Title"; ?></TITLE>
The file in the headers folder will need the same filename as the file
in the pages folder. You don't need to put a file in the headers folder,
for each one you have in your pages folder, just ones that change something.
This way you can put anything that changes headers or adds cookies on a
page using the file in the headers folder. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
