seeking iSearch hack

pkids

Hi all,
My nonprofit has a search page that is supposed to call up our header and footer -- this hack was set up by our web designer who I can't contact anymore.

The code for the header is on the iSearch index.php page, and is simply:

<?php
include 'header2.php';
?>

The header that is displayed when the search results are displayed is incorrect.

My idea was to refer to our current header, which is at this address: http://www.pkids.org/header2.php

I saw at http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php where this could be done, but it didn't work for me.

After searching this site for iSearch, I saw that a few people had managed to customize iSearch and I was hoping to learn how this is done.

Thank you!

I went to your site and visited the iSearch/index.php file.

There are TWO headers being used on that page it appears because there are 2-head sections, 2-DTDs, and 2-opening Body tags <body>

Furthermore, I recommend getting rid of the the javascript that is used for the menu entirely. It uses a TON of code that is not really necessary. All of that code be done with a few lines of semantically correct markup and a little CSS.

The path to the Flash (../images/flash/intswf.swf) file used in the header is either incorrectly specified, or the file really does not exist.

if you want to include the header in the root directory from within a directory one level down, you may do this:

<?php
include('../header2.php');
?>

You don't need to use an absolute path. Just use the "../" to specify that the file exists one-level-up...
