Hi
I have a website that I started make (layout) changes to.
My current problems are in displaying a Menu and a Contact Page.
The Menu is part of the Header.inc file.
Code is …
Index.php
<div id="header" >
<?php include("includes/pbHeader_inc.php"); ?>
</div>and
<div id="contactForm">
<?php include 'includes/Contact_Display.txt'; ?>
</div>
<br /> <br /> I can send the actual files if required.
Can anyone explain why the pages are not displaying ?
cheers
Bob SharpHere Bob, how long did you say that piece of string was?? :o
No, seriously, you gotta provide more information me ol’mate.
try this:
[php]
if(is_readable(“includes/pbHeader_inc.php”)) {
include ‘includes/pbHeader_inc.php’;
}
else {
echo 'where did you say the file was again?! 
';
}
[/php]
If you see my error message then the path to the file is incorrect, if you see any other error (or a blank screen) then the problem is in the phHeader file and we’ll need to see that script to move on.
Hope that helps,
Red 
what I’m seeing now is …
if (is_readable(“includes/pbHeader_inc.php”)) { include ‘includes/pbHeader_inc.php’; } else { echo 'where did you say the file was again?! '; }
in one line across the top of index.php
<div id="header" >
if (is_readable("includes/pbHeader_inc.php")) {
include 'includes/pbHeader_inc.php';
}
else {
echo 'where did you say the file was again?! :P ';
}
</div>
Oops!
I didn’t wrap the code in PHP tags as i assumed you would know that - my fault for making assumptions :-[
To fix add <?php to the beginning and ?> to the end of the code i posted earlier.

Hi
Thanks for the clues. Managed to get moving on the updates now.
Using the POST method, how do I get the Contact Form fields sent to my email address, or added to a file ?
cheers
