[SOLVED] Using same function, getting different results

[Lodius2000]

i am making a comments forum for my blog, the functions page_top() and page_bottom() are purely formatting functions that i use on every page, single.php is the display of a single article (duh) newsingle.php is the same display of a single article with the comments displayed and either a login or create a comment if you are logged in

 

please look at

 

http://maddenbain.com/single.php?id=37 //looks good

http://maddenbain.com/newsingle.php?id=37 //looks bad

 

feel free to change the id to anything lower than 37 to make sure that this is a consistent error, but specifically look at the formatting on the bottom of the blue box and where the green box gets moved to in newsingle.php.  I cant seem to figure out what is screwing up the formatting.

 

here is a snippet of the code that should display what you are seeing when you go to newsingle.php

<?php
function show_form_login($errors = '') {
global $db, $row, $id;
page_top();
print '<div class="entry">';
print '<div class="entrytitle">';
print "<h2>" . stripslashes($row['article_title']) . "</h2>";
print "\n</div>\n";
print '<p class="timestamp">Posted by <a href="mailto:' . $row[email] . '">';
print "$row[username]</a> at " . date('h:i A \o\n D. F j, Y.', $row['formatted_time']) ."</p>\n";
print "<br />\n";
$article = $row['article'];	
//replace new lines with <br />
$order   = array("\r\n", "\n", "\r");
$replace = '<br />';
// Processes \r\n's first so they aren't converted twice.
$new_article = str_replace($order, $replace, $article);
print "" . stripslashes($new_article);
print "\n";
print "<br /><br />\n";
print '<div style="clear:both;"></div>';
print "</div>";

$comments = $db->getAll("SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`time`) AS formatted_time, username, content FROM comments WHERE article_id = ?", array($id));

print "<h3>Comments</h3>\n<br /><br />\n";
foreach ($comments as $com){
	print '<div class="comment">';
	print '<div class="timestamp"> At '. date('h:i A \o\n D. F j, Y.', $row['formatted_time']);
	print '<div><span class="commentuser">' . $com['username'] . '</span> says:</div><br />';
	print '<div class="commentcontent">' . $com['content'] . '</div>';

	print '</div>';//class="comment"
	//open mainpage.css to help with this 
}

if ($errors){
	print 'Please correct these errors: <ul><li>';
	print implode('</li><li>', $errors);
	print '</li></ul>';
}

print "<div>\n";
print '<form name="login" method="POST" action="'.htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).'">';
//begin the unique form
print "<table>\n";

print '<tr><td>Username:</td><td>';
input_text('username', $_POST);
print "</td></tr>\n";

print '<tr><td>Password:</td><td>';
input_password('password', $_POST);
print "</td></tr>\n";

print '<tr><td></td><td>';
input_submit('submit', 'Log in');
print "</td></tr>\n";
print '<input type="hidden" name="_submit_check" value="1" />';
print "</table>\n";
print '</form>';
print '<script language="JavaScript">
    document.login.username.focus();
    </script>';
print "<br /><br />";
page_bottom();
}

?>

 

thanks for the help, lemme know if there is anything else i can give you to solve this

 

notes:

i am aware of general layout/formatting issues with current IE versions, please dont use IE //fix is in progress

i am aware that logging in on newsingle.php does not work //trying to tackle the formatting first

Here's are the differences between the two pages:

 

-<div style="clear:both;"></div></div>
+<div style="clear:both;"></div></div><h3>Comments</h3>
+<br /><br />
+<div>
+<form name="login" method="POST" action="/newsingle.php"><table>
+<tr><td>Username:</td><td><input type="text" name="username" value=""/></td></tr>
+<tr><td>Password:</td><td><input type="password" name="password" value=""/></td></tr>
+<tr><td></td><td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Log in"/></td></tr>
+<input type="hidden" name="_submit_check" value="1" /></table>
+</form><script language="JavaScript">
+    document.login.username.focus();
+    </script><br /><br />

 

The newly added div does not appear to be closed.  Could that be the problem?
