I want center the following image:

....

how do I modify this code?

If you just want to center the image in the table cell that it's in, you could try this:

$s.="<tr><td align='center'><img src='$xi/headpic.gif' width='421' height='52'>";

That didn't work for some reason...

errmmm,

check all your table coding is my suggestion, or post a link to offending page (if it's online) for our inspection!

The page is .... I want to center the "the university of louisiana at monroe" Let me know if you need to see the code for the page...

Uhh... you do realize that your PHP code is being shown the public, right?

	<img src="http://ulm.flipabook.com/images/spacer.gif" width="211" height="68" alt="">	</tr>

<? include "i_nav.php" ?>
<title>Flip A Book</title>	<tr>
		<td bgcolor="#BD1700">

It's very likely that your host has disabled the <? short tag. Either way, I would advise never using the short tags (because of situations just like this one). So, fix all of your PHP tags to be the full <?PHP tag.

Since the issue at hand had nothing to do with PHP, however, I've moved this thread down to the ClientSide Technologies forum.

To comment on your issue... this page is a mess! I would redo it from scratch. You have so many tables inside of tables inside of tables... not only is it not necessary, but it's just plain useless and troublesome. To temporarily fix your issue, try changing this line (just before the <IMG> tag for the headpic image):

<td valign='top' align='left' width='80%'>

to this:

<td valign='top' align='center' width='80%'>

Thanks, I'm going to play around with this somemore. What do you mean by "Uhh... you do realize that your PHP code is being shown the public, right? "

I mean that short_tags is off, so nothing in the <? ?> tags is being parsed by PHP - it's sent to the browser as if it was PHP.

So, if you view the source of the page in a browser, you'll see the <? ?> PHP code (such as the include reference in the code snippet I pasted above).

Ok...I kindof get it. I take it that this is not a good thing. How do I fix it? I'm sorry, This is my first php site.

Look at the page in your browser, and select "view source".

I take it that this is not a good thing.

It means that PHP is not even seeing that code (so it certainly isn't running it). The rest of the world is getting to see it instead.

How do I fix it?

As he said, "fix all of your PHP tags to be the full <?PHP tag." Details about all the different methods of embedding PHP are here. The standard method is as bradgrafelman describes.

For some reason table cells use align="middle" rather than "center" so it would be

Actually, "middle" is only for the valign (vertical alignment) attribute, not align. For more info, see this W3C page.
