ok im writting my site in php, but i got a little problem with the news page, it keeps putting the text at the very top !

Ex. http://www.yupadog.com.

here's my code for it

else { $news = include("news.txt"); top_html(); body($page,$news); bottom(); }

Mabe when your calling the include it's not working as you want it to (by going into the variable) try loading the file into the variable like this

<?php
$fh = fopen("news.txt","r");
$news = fread($fh,filesize("news.txt"));
?>

Edit: oops, i put people.txt on accident :biggrin2:

else {
$fh = fopen("news.txt","r");
$news = fread($fh,filesize("news.txt"));

top_html();
body($page,$news);
bottom();
}

In other words like that.

Dude I do not believe you can store a include in a variable.

I don't think so either, but the code I said should work.

This is quite odd

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fopen() in /srv/sites/yupadog/www/index.php on line 114

Any idea why ?

I hate error messages :D

What was the line that the error returned?

Thats weird, those errors only return when your calling a function, well, that isn't defined lol But it is defined! (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php)

I'm confused... Your on PHP at least 3 right? Read the comments posted at PHP.net for the function --mabe you made a mistake hile setting up PHP (if you did set it up yourself)?

:confused2

Maybe a syntax error somewhere caused this? I don't know, that error message is strange...

Maybe post more of the code, specifically lines 110-120

I was thinking mabe it was an error with fread, the fopen handle didn't work properly, but its saying that fopen isn't even a function... Weirds :chinese2:

Well raz0r, I really don't know... I even asked for you on PHP Builder and no one really said anything that would help, one guy said you had safe mode on, but it isn't.. As for your Perl code, haven't a clue, haven't done Perl in a while... The only thing I see is mabe you don't need to put Content Type: html/text in each and every function, just print it at the top of the script, once.
