PHP isn't working..

[antiy0u]

Sorry I couldn't make the subject title more specific, but I can't explain it, but if you view my website you can easily see the problem.

[url=http://ultimatestorylist.awardspace.com/]http://ultimatestorylist.awardspace.com/[/url]

Click on the first link and as you see, it just says the content of the page, but the layout has disapeared. I don't know what has gone wrong or how to fix it. So help would be appreciated.

Using big words will confuse me, so please try and explain it.. in a more simpler way as I don't want to mess it up again.

The maker is away and cannot help fix it.

She told me to use this php thingy ma jig:

[quote]<?php $page = basename($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
include('header.php');

if(!$page){
include('pages/main.php');
} else {
if(file_exists('pages/'.$page.'.php')){
      include('pages/'.$page.'.php');
} else {
      echo('This page does not exist!');
}
}

include('footer.php');
?>[/quote]

and name it index.php and then have seperate header.php and footer.php

The main page content has worked (main.php) but nothing else is working.

Please help me as I'm supposed to be getting the site up and running before Christmas and I have plenty of other things to add to the website as it is!

Thank you!

you do not want to go to the page you want to include it in your current page. So your link needs to be changed. the link should be something like

[code]<?php
echo "<a href='".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=catagories'>Catagories</a>"';
?>[/code]

Sorry, where do I put this? In the navigation table on the main page or in the PHP code the maker gave me?

You would put it in the navigation table. Where ever the links are.
