.php headers?

[Black_Apalachi]

well that says "Error: service not started [-1]" in the XAMPP window thing.

seriously is there any alternatives to this that can just be done in Notepad and doesn't require downloading programmes? Iframes I suppose? Although I'm sure I acomplished this when I coded my own layout from scratch about 6 months ago and I know I used divs, and I didn't have to download anything.

Not if you want to do it using PHP - which needs a http server (e.g. Apache). Setting up XAMPP is pretty easy, you must be doing something very wrong, lol.

Ohhhh you click "start" not the tick box kkkkkkkk lol.

I'm doing that now and I'll let you know if it helps . +rep

Ok Apache is running. But it's made no difference.


Right is this 100% correct for an include?

<?php include("main.php"); ?>


And does the document 'main.php' have to contain anything in particular or is there anything it can not contain?

For example, it beins with:

<div class="image1"></div>

...and then it's just text.

You need PHP GD?

You need PHP GD?

Someone asked me that before. I don't know what it is but I'll see if I can find it to download...

(edit) oh it sounds like that's to do with images? might help my original problem but I'm more concerned about displaying the actual content for now.

edit again. I have an idea. Could somebody download the zip I posted in an earlier post (previous page I think). Then open index.php in Notepad, scroll to the very bottom and you'll see the 'enter content here' part. It has that weird coding I also posted earlier rather than a php include. That might be the best way for someone to spot a problem?

The headers use Php GD to generate the text that is on them. It's not a normal div with a background image and text on top. The image has been generated to have whatever text you want on it.

Ok thanks, I'll d/l that then +rep

Once downloaded, will any action be required? i.e. will it have to be d/l to somewhere around file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/site/ for instance?

I can't be arsed to read through all of that. But is the problem right now; not being able to display the headers?

If so.. go to header.php?t=blah and see what comes up.. in your browser.. then tell us what happens.

That was my initial problem, but when I work out where exactly to download this Php GD from, it should be OK .

I have a seperate problem though where by my php include won't work so I can't see any of my content.
