theme.html -> Theme.php

[eclipselv]

I need to change the extension of the theme.html file to theme.php.
I have php code that I need to place in the header.

Can someone please tell me the fille that calls this theme.html file so that I can change the extension.

thanks

Don't even go there. Use a custom header as described in the documentation.

OK......
Im not all that great with php, I am learning and willing to learn.

I inserted the code in the place the faq specified.
It tells me the following:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '(', expecting ',' or ';' in /home/arf/public_html/gallery/themes/default/theme.php on line 779

The line it is refering to is:

static $custom_header = ob_get_contents();

If I remove the () the gallery dispays but the header does not show up.

header.php is in root dir.
The code below is the what I have in my theme.php file.
Here is the link to the gallery: http://www.autoracingforums.net/gallery/

As you can see, it gives me a parse error.....
Any help on this would be very much appreciated.

Split that line into 2 lines:

static $custom_header;
$custom_header = ob_get_contents();

If the path to the header is supposed to be a full server path then it needs to start with a '/' . If I go to http://www.autoracingforums.net/header.php all I get is a blank page.

yah i must have been updating the second you tried to access it. its up i just seen it.

I added the "/" a while ago....

I even doublechecked that the theme is selected in the confic.
When I edit the template.html, the changes show up.

this is what I have now....  and thank you for your help.

If someone knows how to get the php header to work, please let me know.
