Alright Guys

I really need your help.. I have got this php file that I have created that I wish to use for this page layout Untitled Document

This is what I would like it to look like
http://www.digitalre..../contactus.php

This is the code for contact.php page


<?php


include_once ("header.php");



// get contact page info from database


$q = "select * from ".$prefix."site_settings";

$v = $db->get_a_line($q);


$contact_page = $v['contact'];

$contact_page = stripslashes($contact_page);


// display contact page

$returncontent = preg_replace ("/\[\[(.*?)\]\]/e", "$$1", $contact_page);

$returncontent = preg_replace("/[$]/","$",$returncontent);

echo $returncontent;


include_once ("footer.php");


?>

My first question is as follows:

How do I tell the content page to read that file.. Every time I do it using the include_once and then link to that file it displays it incorrectly..

My second question is:
I need help in moving the contents code to the contactus.php page... I explain more when I get the first question done

I don't really understand your question, what file are you wanting to include? is it another php file or is it a text file.

Either way to include the contents of another page into your page there are the ways.
1.) with include/require or include_once/require_once functions.
2.) by using fopen to open and read the contents of a file.
3.) by using an iframe to display another page inside of your current page.

The clearer you are and the more information you provide the better we can help you out.
