ok I have played around with it....and moved stuff around, but to no avail, im sorry I guess I just don't have the php writing skills, does anyone have any suggestions on the placement of this code so it can work?
-
ok done...no errors
-
how do you turn on error reporting?
-
cause when I take it out and just put the whole page in php it gives an error and I am not a coder so I try by putting things together and testing...I have fun doing it and if it works well it works, if not I try and get help from people like you....who usually do not say that I am stupid, but all is good!
