Help urgently required

backagain

Hi all,
I'm building (trying) using php and MySQL. I have a headder and foote files, saved with (.html) extensions. I use (include) to call these into the main file. Problem is I've built these two using css, adn need to get content into the header file, but when I use $POST or $GET the content inserts itself between the header and footer file.

I cna do it using tables, simply by having the opening <td> tag in the header and cloing <td> tag in the footer, but can't split my css this way, it wont work. I've tried inserting between the two <div> tags <?php ($GET [var_name]); ?>, and in the source file ($_POST[vars_name]); it comes into the file but not in the position I want it to?

Help urgently needed as I'm now weeks behind in contructing my site. The books I've got say this should work, (not in so many words) but it sems right

Firstly your Title is highly misleading. Make sure your titles are somewhat related to the message you have.

Secondly some code would help quite a lot, unfortunately none here are mind readers (well any that I know of).

It has to be a different error...I've formatted pages in this manner countless times (using CSS). Post us some code and we'll find the problem.

Hi all,

Sorry about title, I was not thinking. I've sorted it. It was just me bieng really dumb. I was actually entering the text mysel in that area. IE Created a file called index.php, entered the content into that file, then called header and footer files, into that file. So unless the content was going to jump from taht file into the header file it would never work. I've now created a content.php file and hope when I call that into my header file it will work?

I am really sorry for the time I've wasted, as I said new to php..

O/T is there anyway to create a PopUp menu using Php?

PHP's a server-side language. That behavior relies on manipulating the page on the client side of things. Look into using Javascript, DHTML, CSS, etc.
