Hi, i am working on this 2page site that work together, can you tell me whats wrong?

whats happening is that when i use the include(); it places it at the top of the page instead of in the table where i want it.

##code for dotemplate.php##
Code: 
<?php 
$main = &quot;testing&quot;;
$logo = &quot;logo&quot;;
$left = include(&quot;navleft.php&quot;);
$right = include(&quot;middlenav.php&quot;);

$pagehtml = implode(&quot;&quot;, file(&quot;template.template&quot;)); // for change layout use &quot;.$_SESSION['template'].'&quot;
           $pagehtml = str_replace(&quot;[## titlebar ##]&quot;, $logo, $pagehtml);
           $pagehtml = str_replace(&quot;[## copyright2 ##]&quot;, $copyright, $pagehtml);
           $pagehtml = str_replace(&quot;[## leftnav ##]&quot;, $left, $pagehtml);
           $pagehtml = str_replace(&quot;[## main ##]&quot;, $main, $pagehtml);
           $pagehtml = str_replace(&quot;[## rightnav ##]&quot;, $right ,$pagehtml);

echo($pagehtml);
?>

##code for template.template##
Code: 
<html>

By now nobody, maybe not even Chacalinc, knows what your code looks like.
Did you make your bav scripts into functions? The fact that the output appears in the wrong place could be:
1. It is still called in the wrong spot.
2. The include statement still produces output.
3. The resulting HTML is invalid and makes the browser display it wrong.

I'd be glad to help, jsut show the current state.

There are several things that I see right away.
1. The most important is that HTML documents are only allowed to contain a single <body> tag. Each of your sub-documents seems to contain a full <body> tag. That will certainly create invalid HTML.

2. Your code
Code: 
function navleft2(){
    include 'navleft.php';
}

$leftnav = navleft2();
defeats itself. When you call the navleft2() function the HTML will be put into the output stream. That's why it always appears first.

You need to:
a) get rid of the extraneous <body> tags or extract the content between <body> .... </body>
b) not call the function anwhere else than where the output should go or rewrite it in such a way that the output goes into a string.

I think you are mixing up the reading the contents of a file into a string variable with inclusion using include(). The file reading wouldn't help you either as you have also PHP code in the files that needs to be executed, there are further dependencies.

Make a simple schematic overview of what you want the modules to do. It will help you get a clearer picture of what's happening.

Martin,

In navleft.php you did not put the page on a variable, that's why it is showed instead to put it on $left_nav var. Take a look to my previous post, where all the page (navleft) is in $out variable.

2nd place, as DRJ478 states, you must have *only one* <body> tag. Tags <link ..> for css put it inside <head> tag.

cheers.
