Here is the link for pictures and codes: http://www.fileden.com/files/2011/7/27/3174077/My_Documents/Folder.rar

include code:

</head>
<body>
   <div id="main_container">

   <div>
      <?php

          include 'include/header2.php';

      ?>

        </div>

<div class="main_content">



    <div class="menu">
        <ul>
        <li><a class="current" href="../../index.php">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="module/jo.php">Job Orders<!--[if IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]-->
        <!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]-->
            <ul>

so on and so forth...

What output are you getting and have you turned on error reporting, if yes, are there any errors? Also, what does your header2.php look like? — rzetterberg

I can only guess, but I think 'include/header2.php' is pointing at something other than what you intend it to. Take a look at the docs on include path. You can check your current include_path with phpinfo and work from there.

Yeah, turn on error reporting and see what php is telling you. You can also try to give an absolute path for your include, like:

include('/var/web/include/header2.php');

It's not really advisable to use absolute paths like this, but it might help you find out what exactly is going wrong.
