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.
<?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"> </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
<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"> </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: <?php
<p>Some text wrapped inside HTML</p>
?>You instead have to either use this code:<?php
print '<p>Some text wrapped inside HTML</p>';
?>or you have to use PHP's heredoc syntax:<?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.
Thanks for your help
went the " echo " way
