Well, you seem to have each of your includes as a full html-page, with start/end html-tags. This will produce some strange effects 😉

What you need to do is omit all <html> tags from every include exept the top and bottom includes, so that there is only one <html> and one </html>
Think of the index-page and all the includes as ONE page, not several different pages.

It's this

</font></b></p>

</body>

</html>
</td>

that produces the strange effects.

best way to control how your site looks is to use CSS.
try

hi, i remove the <body>,<html>,</body>,</html> from all the pages and place the <HTML><body> on the header.php and </body></html> in the footer.php

but its still the same 🙁 is there any one who is willing to fix the script for me?

if yes, i can send you the php files and images to your email

thank you for your help

<HTML><body> on the header.php and </body></html> in footer is not enough, you must have <head> tags. This is a typical syntax for a blank page:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Don't give up!
