Custom Header

[Feckie]

I Am trying to set up a custom header,

1: I set up a php file.
2: Coppermine Reads The File But Finds Errors All the Time
3: The Code in the php file is as follows.

Code Select Expand

<?php


<table border="0" width="90%">
    <tr align="center" valign="middle">
        <td width="441">
            <p align="left"><img src="http://www.kellysbestofoldies.com/forum/images/misc/Logoleft.gif" width="250" height="120" border="0"></p>
        </td>
        <td width="441" align="center" valign="middle">
            <table border="3" width="255" align="center" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#CCCCCC">
                <tr align="center" valign="middle">
                    <td width="245" valign="middle" align="center">
                        <p align="center"><img src="http://www.kellysbestofoldies.com/forum/images/misc/Admins.gif" border="0"></p>
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </td>
        <td width="441">
            <p align="right"><img src="http://www.kellysbestofoldies.com/forum/images/misc/logoright.gif" border="0"></p>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>


?>

How can I Make This Work

Any help would be helpful thanks

just remove php's delimiters ( start tag <?php and end tag ?>) from your code and you'll be fine
something like this could work

Code Select Expand


<table border="0" width="90%">
    <tr align="center" valign="middle">
        <td width="441">
            <p align="left"><img src="http://www.kellysbestofoldies.com/forum/images/misc/Logoleft.gif" width="250" height="120" border="0"></p>
        </td>
        <td width="441" align="center" valign="middle">
            <table border="3" width="255" align="center" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#CCCCCC">
                <tr align="center" valign="middle">
                    <td width="245" valign="middle" align="center">
                        <p align="center"><img src="http://www.kellysbestofoldies.com/forum/images/misc/Admins.gif" border="0"></p>
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </td>
        <td width="441">
            <p align="right"><img src="http://www.kellysbestofoldies.com/forum/images/misc/logoright.gif" border="0"></p>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>

Sami's advice is of course correct. However, he posted while I was typing my reply, so I'll post it anyway:

That's just plain HTML, so why do you try to add it as a custom header?

You have two options:
1) Edit your custom template.html (This is the recommended option)
Insert the stuff you want to see added (without the starting and ending PHP tags) to themes/yourtheme/template.html.

2) Use proper PHP code
Create proper PHP syntax if you must use PHP. Your can't just add HTML directly into PHP like that. The following code does NOT work:

Code Select Expand

<?php
<p>Some text wrapped inside HTML</p>
?>You instead have to either use this code:

Code Select Expand

<?php
print '<p>Some text wrapped inside HTML</p>';
?>or you have to use PHP's heredoc syntax:

Code Select Expand

<?php
print <<< EOT
<p>Some text wrapped inside HTML</p>
EOT;
?>Both methods have advantages as well as disadvantages.

Don't use PHP if you don't need it - use what you're familiar with instead: plain HTML. Particularly if you don't need to use PHP.
