Thanks in advance for helping me through my obvious friday afternoon brain fart...

I guess you forget that defaults.php is a php file and needs to start with <?php and end with ?> Tijnema

Well there it is... The Brain fart... Or misunderstanding... I thought since I was calling it within another php script that I didn't have to include the <? ?> tags? Obviously I was wrong...

You don't need to close the PHP context with ?> PHP does it for you when it hits the end of the file... this is a feature. Cheers, Rob.

Yes, it does, but well, doesn't it look nice an ending ?> ?? Mostly, it looks like a dangling piece of rubbish. I never add the closing ?> on a source-only file. And since I never mix code with content... I never see ?> in my files *grin*. The code generated by the template compiler has the appropriate closing tags though... and of course since it's generated, it's a run-time soup of HTML and embedded PHP code :) Cheers, Rob.

Mostly for the very basic sites, I put HTML code at the end of my file, so i don't have to echo it and think about quotes. And a lot of times, i also have HTML in front of my code, or when using sessions, in between like this: <?php session_start(); ?> <html><head><title>Test</title></head><body> <?php // Some PHP code here ?> </body></html> And then, the ?> is a must :) Tijnema
