hello all, im having a little trouble here. im attempting to use some css scripted called comicgallery at http://www.designmeme.com.
so far this is where im at http://www.davemcclane.com/comicpage/example.php. the imediate issue that i appear to be having is that im unable to display my footer or my background content area.
when i change the example.php file extention to html, it will display the footer. but not as a php file.
i realize i am at a early stage of learning css, nonetheless i would appreciate any sugjections. thanks

well if it works as a .html file there is something different in your .php file then in your .html file.
Do a file compare wich checks every line for you for differences. Or post the php source here so i can take a look.

dave

thanks for the reply, this is the php that i have so far which im trying to modify to my mockup.
when i view the source code from within a browser it fails to show the "footer" and "example" divs, yet below is the php straight from the server which shows it.

i will also attach the css file if that will help.
thanks again!

Looks weird, it fails at the first include somehow ... for the file "comicgallery.php".

When i take a look at http://www.davemcclane.com/comicpage/comicgallery.php its a blank page ..... try and put some html into that like <p>blahblah</p> or something like that.
