trq Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Your output is outside of the html <body> tags for starters. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/93315-output-printing-oout-in-corner/#findComment-477986 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deansatch Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 A little tip to avoid things like this in future. First make a static html page with some dummy text where your dynamic text will go. Then write your php code to extract your info from your db and print. Copy and paste your php code over your dummy text. This way you know it will be in the right place and you know before you start your php coding if the page will look right.
