[Resolved] [Resolved] echo table

mikawhat

i'm trying to display a poll inside a table.
echo "<tr>
<td><div align=\"center\"><font color=\"#009900\" size=\"2\"> POLL HERE </font></div></td>
</tr>";

how can i use the include "polls/poll.php"; ??
i tried with " . "polls/poll.php"; . " but didn't work.
any ideas?

<?php
include ('header.inc');
echo "<fieldset><legend><font color=\"#009900\" size=\"2\"><b>Poll</b></font></legend>";
echo "<table width=\"97%\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\">";
echo "<tr>
<td><div align=\"center\"><font color=\"#009900\" size=\"2\"><strong> </strong></font></div></td>
</tr>";
echo "<tr>
<td><div align=\"center\"><font color=\"#009900\" size=\"2\"><strong>" . include "polls/poll.php"; . "</strong></font></div></td>
</tr>";
echo "</table>";
echo "</fieldset>";
include ('footer.inc');
?>

echo "<tr><td><div align=\"center\"><font color=\"#009900\" size=\"2\"><strong>" . include "polls/poll.php"; . "</strong></font></div></td></tr>";

try omitting the ';' after include "polls/poll.php";
the "." in this case concatenates your string literals and varibles and that you have accidentally terminated the line withe the ";"

Glad to see you have it fixed could you be so kind as to mark the thread resolved, also not sure if you realised but this is the Database Forums, perhaps this could have been better put in General or Coding.
