Drongo_III Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I think you're good to just place it directly below your first php closing tag mate Hello again:] I am wondering where should i put valid doctype <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> and meta tags <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> in a php file like this. <?php session_start(); // Session starts here if(!isset($_SESSION['username'])) // If there is no session then... { die ("<div align='center'><img src='images/LOGINKITTEN.jpg'/><br /><a href='index.php'><img src='images/Login.jpg'/></a></div>"); // ...Die! } $id = $_GET['id']; ?> <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="jamcss.css" /> </head> <body> <img src="images/jamspace.jpg" /> <div id="jamcontainer"> <b><a href="main.php">Home</a> || <a href="members.php">Members</a> || <a href="jams.php">Jams</a> || <a href="uploadjamform.php">Upload Jam</a> || <a href="myprofile.php">My profile</a> || <a href="about.php">About</a> || <a href="adminindex.php">Moderators</a> || <a href="logout.php">Logout</a></b> You are logged in as <?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?> <br /><br /> <?php $connection = mysql_connect("lol.com", "loldb", "lol00") or die ("Could not connect"); mysql_select_db("loldb", $connection) or die("Could not connect"); // mysql query to get the username $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY id DESC"); $numrows = mysql_num_rows($query); if ($numrows!=0) { // fetching data from the database to variable while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) { $title = $row['title']; $post_owner = $row['post_owner']; $post = $row['post']; echo "<b>" . $title .

Pain Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 For some reason doctype removes my css effects (only on IE) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drongo_III Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Does that happen on the flat html file or just when you use an include? To be honest, and some may disagree here, but if you're using a strict Doc Type you're going to have to be a lot more sharp in your coding. I generally always use a transitional doc type - i.e.: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> You may find it more forgiving. Let me know if that works Drongo For some reason doctype removes my css effects (only on IE) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
