Hey guys,

I finally figured out how to create my layout in a nicely organized way and everything seems to work fine except that for the header part, I want to include the file "header.php" so I could modify the header.php instead of the index.php, however im having a hard time getting things to look the way i want to. when I add the file, it pushes the entire layout to the left instead of staying centered.

this is the code i put in the index file:

<?php include("header.php"); ?>

here you can see how it looks like:

any help appreciated!

<div id="header">
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Unbenanntes Dokument</title>

<style>
#top-wrap { width: 960px; height; 149px; align: center; }
#header { width: 960px; height; 85px; align: center; }
#nav { width: 960px; height; 69px; align: center; }

</style>
</head> You shouldn't make your individual files with complete html structure. The structure is required only for the final page source after parsing all php code

I'm not sure what you mean. Could you elaborate please?

Take a look at your generated html source code taken from browser's "view source" option.

hey i just realized that i used the wrong file to for the header.php and mixed up codes. that's why I was confused. i was doing too many things at a time and didn't realize that I what I was doing was complete nonsense. thanks :thumbsup:
