Hey all,

I am trying to display a table in my main page using includes, however i cannot understand how to use them without them being used for a header / footer (and it was working fine 2 hours ago). Any ideas as to wat i have done wrong would be appriciated :) I know that the way i'm using php atm is simple (Hello World) but i need to get this working first before i can continue with the rest.

File to be included:(newsrecent.php)
Code:
			<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5">
				<tr>
                <!--Recent Threads-->
					<td><?php echo "Hello World"; ?>&nbsp;</td>
			  </tr>
				<tr>
					<td>&nbsp;</td>
			  </tr>				
				<tr>
					<td>&nbsp;</td>
			  </tr>				
				<tr>
					<td>&nbsp;</td>
			  </tr>				
				<tr>
					<td>&nbsp;</td>
			  </tr>						
				<tr>
					<td>&nbsp;</td>
			  </tr>									
			</table>

File linking to the include:(index.php)
Code:
<div id="rheadlines">
<?php include(newsrecent.php) ?>
		</div>

Regards

NightFox

it might/might not do anything, but i think a correct code is important

PHP:
<div id="rheadlines">
<?php include("newsrecent.php"); ?>
		</div>

are you sure it worked? I was pretty sure that you should do it this way.
PHP:
<?php include "newsrecent.php"; ?>

but then again if it worked then it worked. I'll take note of that too.

Include's a weird one - I've used it both ways and it seems to work both ways.

The key is making sure the " or ' are there, otherwise it freaks out :)

include() is a construct, not a function. Its syntax is similar to echo or return -- parentheses aren't required.
