I've read a few posts that say "read the docs" on how to do this, but I'm new to PHP and I can't find the exact steps in the docs either.

I'm using the Classic theme, and I would like to place a banner at the top of every page.  The code is included on a lot of other pages on my site, but they are written in ASP.  I know I have to convert the banner code to PHP, but I can't get anything included in the template.html and I don't understand where to make the changes in template.php

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated :)

well, i would need to see the code, but you should be able to add to the template.html file within the theme you use.

I've tried this ...

Code Select

<body>
<table border="4" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" width="100%" bordercolor="#000000">
<tr>
        <td valign="top" bordercolor="#666666" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" style="border: 1px solid;">
                <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
                       <tr>
                                <td>
<!--#include file="top.inc"-->                               
                                <br /><a href="index.php"><img src="/v8central.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /></a></td>
                                <td width="100%" align="center">
                                        <h1>{GAL_NAME}</h1>
                                        <h3>{GAL_DESCRIPTION}</h3><br />
                                        {MAIN_MENU}
                                </td>
                        </tr>
                </table>


and this :

Code Select

<body>
<table border="4" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="3" width="100%" bordercolor="#000000">
<tr>
        <td valign="top" bordercolor="#666666" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" style="border: 1px solid;">
                <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
                       <tr>
                                <td>
<?php
srand((double)microtime()*1000000); 
echo rand(0,100); 
?>                               
                                <br /><a href="index.php"><img src="/v8central.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /></a></td>
                                <td width="100%" align="center">
                                        <h1>{GAL_NAME}</h1>
                                        <h3>{GAL_DESCRIPTION}</h3><br />
                                        {MAIN_MENU}
                                </td>
                        </tr>
                </table>


neither work.  The other (normal) HTML changes work well, but I need the ability to do an SSI or some PHP code

you can't use PHP nor SSI in template.html, so your first suggestions are bound not to work. Snork13 is right: do as he suggests.
