You shoudl contact your server admin in order to determine what is going on here.
YoBoyE Nervous Wreck (II) Inmate From: Insane since: Sep 2001	posted 10-21-2001 05:07 yeah, i thought maybe it was a different file extension, so i tried to rename to .php3 and it made it index.php3.txt, assumingly because it hasn't associated any php3 extensions on my comp, and yes, php is installed, or so i was told. So i guess i have to figure out how to rename it to where it will work...any suggestions....thanks in advance Eric Hesterman

Don't take that template tutorial to heart. I have modified my way of coding much since I wrote that.

I have learned about global variables, and have figured out what is easier and what is not.

My current templates resemble

code:

<? $title = "page title"; ?>

<? include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/templates/header.php"; ?>



Actual Page Content



<? include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/templates/footer.php"; ?>

My files would then resemble,

head

code:

<html>

<head>

<title><?echo "$title"; ?></title>

</head>

<body>

foot

code:

</body>

</html>

Don't be afraid to mess around with this stuff it can be exciting.
