Hi,

I have created some page and i have a footer and header .php files with the header and footer xhtml code inside it. Here comes the bit i can't do, i have a index page and i like to include those files in the index, somehow call them.

I used the code

Code:

<?php get_header(); ?>

but it didn't work, anyone has any idea how i can do this?

Thanks,
Yizi

PHP Code:


include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/path_to/header.php");

Does that go in the same page?

This should go in the pages where you want your header to be included.
The include() function inserts the content of the included file into the current document, at the place this function is called
http://www.php.net/include/

OK it's not working, i want to have a single header, i have few pages that use the same header and footer, the template is coded in xHTML and CSS anyone can give me a step instructions how to create and get it working? Thanks!

You need to be a bit more specific than 'not working'. What is happening? Is there an error message?

The header wont show like it should makes the page plain and without an style!

Do you mean that all of the content is being displayed but none of the CSS styling has been applied? If that's the case, check that the path to your CSS file(s) is correct.

No not just the CSS its the header that isn't displayed CSS is inside it.

OK i manage to get the include working, just tested it with a echo in the header.php but when i acually add the php tags (<?php ?>) and include the html tags for the header section inside it i get error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in C:\server\www\ivyhomes\header.php on line 2

I header php line to i have this code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

In the header.php i have this file! Sorry i was typing fast and didn't know what i was typing.

Anyone? i still didn't manage to solve the problem.

OK OK OK here is the solution, don't add PHP tags inside the header.php and it will work!
