External CSS Stylesheet not working

mdburden

I am having a problem with an external style sheet using PhP5.

If I put the link to the stylesheet in on the page everything works fine.

However, I am using a function files to store the functions that are used frequently throughout the site.

All function files are specified in an include statement.

When I run the page with the stylesheet link in the output_fns.php file the styesheet is not loading. The content works fine but none of the styles are loading. Can anyone help?

Here is my coding:

(index.php)

<?php

include('rhs72_fns.php');
session_start();
do_html_header('RHS Class of 1972');
?>

rhs72_fns.php

<?php
    include('database_fns.php');
    include('output_fns.php');
?>

output_fns.php

function do_html_header($title = ' ')
	{
		?>

Welcome to the forums. In future posts, please make use of the [noparse]

[/noparse] bbcode tags around your code snippets (which I added to your post here). As it's past my bedtime, I'll leave it to someone else to help you, else I'll see you tomorrow some time. 🙂

It looks like you've got some problems in that output file of yours, which you'd spot with a decent syntax highlighting editor. The main issues are:

missing opening PHP tag, although this might be a copy/pasta error when you pasted it into your question
A random semicolon at the end of the first meta tag line; you can put this whole meta tag on one line as well
Missing quote mark on the last meta tag line - this is the one causing your issue, as the browser is confused as to what tags end where
space in the xml:lang attribute, which is creating two lang attributes that are identical and a third called xml: that contains no value

There must be a good xkcd cartoon in there, somewhere. 🙂

(Now, back to your regularly scheduled discussion.)
