New Module Formating issue...

Hello, I am have a formatting issue with a new module I am creating. It seems as if the footer and right blocks are not formating correctly. I think it may having something to do with way I have added html through echo commands in my file.

I have read the idiots guide and search for this problem on the forums for about an hour and have not seen any topics on it.

For the life of me I can't figure it out. Can someone take a quick look?

The site is at www.spokanenightmare.net/index.php and the module is called 'Sponsorship'.

Here is the php file that creates it:

Quote:

<?php

if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}

if(!isset($mainfile)){
include("mainfile.php");
}

$index = 1;

include("header.php");

OpenTable();
echo " \n";
echo "SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES\n";
echo "<table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>\n";
echo "<tr>\n";
echo "<td bgcolor='#383838'><table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>\n";
echo "<tr>\n";
echo "<td bgcolor='#000000'><table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='1' cellpadding='0'>\n";
echo "<tr>\n";
echo "<td height='30' background='themes/MissionImpossible/images/cellpic3.gif' bgcolor='#383838'><table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='4'>\n";
echo "<tr>\n";
echo "<td>Nightmare\n";
echo "TITLESPONSOR $10,000</td>\n";
echo "</tr>\n";
echo "</table></td>\n";
echo "</tr>\n";
echo "<tr>\n";
echo "<td bgcolor='#383838'><table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='4'>\n";
echo "<tr>\n";
echo "<td>\n";
echo "<ul>\n";
echo "<li>Company patch on Game Uniform\n";
echo "(Nightmare Team Provided)</li>\n";
echo "<li>Corporate Banner at all\n";
echo "Spokane Nightmare home games (scoreboard), player\n";
echo "appearances and special events</li>\n";
echo "<li>Title recognition on all\n";
echo "printed materials & marketing collateral and media spots</li>\n";

echo "Nightmare printed materials</li>\n";

echo "team promotional merchandise</li>\n";

echo "<li>Signed, Spokane Nightmare\n";
echo "league issued football & Commemorative team jersey \n";
echo " &</li>\n";
echo "</ul>\n";
echo "</td>\n";
echo "</tr>\n";
echo "</table></td>\n";
echo "</tr>\n";
echo "<tr>\n";
echo "<td height='26' background='themes/MissionImpossible/images/cellpic1.gif' bgcolor='#272727'>&</td>\n";
echo "</tr>\n";
echo "</table>\n";
echo "\n";
CloseTable();

include("footer.php");

Before I try to answer this, there is a much easier way Smile

. Instead of all the echo statements, just use regular html like this SINCE YOU ARE NOT USING PHP IN YOUR Html. Then see if you can find the maistake Smile

Code:

<?php

if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}

if(!isset($mainfile)){
include("mainfile.php");
}

$index = 1;

include("header.php");

OpenTable();
?>

PUT REGULAR HTML HERE

<?
CloseTable();

include("footer.php");
?>

Ok thanks. I ran across that too. I've changed it. I spend a few hours comparing and messing with the tables to try and get it to format right, with no avail. Im alright when it comes to HTML, however tables confuse me sometimes.

Still show up with the same format problems, seems the main HTML im putting in is in a table with the right blocks and footer.

You can see it at http://www.spokanenightmare.net/modules.php?name=Sponsorship

Here is the new .php file:

Quote:

<?php

if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}

if(!isset($mainfile)){
include("mainfile.php");
}

$index = 1;

include("header.php");

OpenTable();
?>

You will have to figure out where, but you have 5 table open tags and only 4 table close tags Smile

Shouldn't be that hard Wink
