Agh! Help plz...

Anon

I created a little template for some car stuff for my site, but I have run into some problems.

I have it "require"ing a PHP file with a bunch of variables and then it is supposed to print the variables in the appropriate spot. I'm not even really sure if the 'require "/usr/home/....";' is the right command, but I thought it might work like it does with CGI...

So, my problem is that it prints all of the contents at the very top of the document, before the 'html' tag at the top, and then doesn't print them in the bottom of the document.

If you can help me asap, that would be great! thx.

Does PHP works at all? I think there is some problem with Apache/PHP.
Check if your configuration is correct...
If you can see the content of the script file - it means that PHP files are not beeing parsed/executed by PHP (as you wrote: "it prints all of the contents at the very top of the document").

What about phpinfo()...?
Just make a file called test.php3 and put inside it:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

And then run it in the browser like: http://myserver/test.php3

If you can see a lot of strange informations it means that PHP works fine.

PHP is going to take the 'required' file and place it exactly where it's called. So if you call require at the beginning, then that file will be placed there. you must call require exactly where you want the output of the file.

Hope that helps...

Yes, PHP works fine, I'm running a PHP template system for all of my pages. I guess I will just work it all out some other way.

Yay! Got it working. I never realized that I had to put <?php ... ?> around the php file variables.... stupid me.
