(I'm using DW CS3) The main file should set up the page (<head>, <body>, etc). The include file can have any mixture of HTML and PHP, including defining tables, etc. If it contains any PHP it should be named as xxxxx.php. It is also good practice to put <?php at the start, and ?> at the end, though it doesn't appear to make any difference. >Also, something I do not understand, I included a small txt file in a page >of a customer and it shows fine, however this file is not on the server...is >this normal? Sorry; I don't understand this.
