RE: [PHP] print problem

You should have gone with the "Teach Yourself PHP in 24 hours" ......just kidding. <? ?> <-these are considered short tags and unless specified in the php.ini file like so: short_open_tag = On; This will not work.....if you do not have rights to this there are ways around it but I won't go into detail. Try <?php ?> OR <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="php"> </SCRIPT> These are guaranteed to work on all configurations.

Should I have included() or required() the Style Sheet(which is faster)?
