Re: Outputting HTML with PHP - Buffer Problem?

There is nothing wrong with what your doing, i use this sort of thing for all the big sites i make, i use a page class and use methods to create the header and footer, so your concept is good. I would investigate your html_head() function, to make sure its actually returning something. Sinse your 'print'ing it, it must return some text..... example function html_head() { $html = "<html...................................."; return $html; } i prefer to escape from php inside my header fucntion, and just not print it.. eg. function header() { <? <html <head <title........ ?> } then i call it with $page->header(); hope that helps....?
