I am very new to web programming, so I decided to start on something easy. Well the problem is, I don't really know how to use <divs> to create a nice styel.css document for my page.

This is my site: http://warriorhall.pcriot.com/

and I don't know how to make $variables a certain font color or even create divs for them.


Here is an example of my problem:

<div id="maxsizelimit">[FONT=tahoma,verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif][/FONT]$max = $maxfilesize/1048576;
$max = round($max, 1);
echo "<br>$max MB Maximum Upload File Size";</div>

but I get an error saying unexpected '>'.. please help!

The error is because you have HTML tags inside your PHP.
Try this:
PHP: 
<?php
$max = $maxfilesize/1048576;
$max = round($max, 1);
echo "<br><div id='maxsizelimit'>$max MB Maximum Upload File Size</div>";
?>
You may want to have a look at using <SPAN class="...">text</SPAN> instead of DIVs.

Could you post the complete error message you are getting because there are a lot of ">" in that page and it's hard to see which one is causing the error. The error message will say which line is causing the error, which will narrow it down a bit.

Well done! What was the problem?

Your site looks quite good, I think you need a bit more content as there is a lot of empty space. Also this is just my opinion but the header image is creepy, but I'm guessing it's supposed to be creepy.

I never understood why people use double quotes when they concatenate the variables with them instead of putting them inside.

But anyway, as far as I can see, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that code. I would suspect the error is originating in header.php or footer.php.

Well I wrote I started writing it about half an hour ago, but I opened several tabs for different topics and forgot about it. Didn't bother to refresh the topic when I finished it up :p
