Hi All, I just started to learn PHP and need help with an include file. Below are 3 test files.
The 4th line of html_header, ie. the xml declaration, creates a parse error: parse error in [snip]/html_header.php on line 4 When the line is removed, no parse error and the page displays with all vars populated properly. Somehow I need to escape those pesky characters or ??? RedHat 7.2, PHP 4.0.6, Mozilla 0.9 Thanks, Jim # ---------- include.php, called from browser <?php $css_ref = "../africa_loc.css"; $h1 = "Sample H One Heading"; $h2 = "An H Two Heading"; $footer_subject = "$h1, $h2"; $home_page = "http://jima9.tripod.com/fam/index.html"; include("html_header.php"); html_header_10_strict( $css_ref, $h1, $h2 ); include("html_footer"); ?> # ---------- # ---------- html_header.php, called from include.php <?php function html_header_10_strict ( $css_ref, $h1, $h2 ) { ?> <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta name="robots" content = "noindex, nofollow" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo "$css_ref"; ?>" /> <meta name="keywords" content="one, " /> <title><?php echo "$h1"; ?></title> </head> <body lang="en"> <div class="pane"> <h1><?php echo "$h1"; ?></h1> <h2><?php echo "$h2"; ?></h2> <?php } ?> # ---------- # ---------- html_footer, called from include.php </div> <p class="footer"> Please report errors, typos, or problems to <a href= "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject = <?php echo "$footer_subject"; ?>"> [EMAIL PROTECTED]</a><br /> Visit the <a href="<?php echo "$home_page"; ?>">home page</a> of this site. </p> </body></html> # ---------- __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
