I purchased a template and I was beginning to write php code to make the admin. I am having a problem that the site is showing up in chrome and firefox properly, but in internet explorer, the whole code is messed up. At the top of the page I have an include with php code, that if I take it out the site displays properly. Why should this include effect anything? the php does not give any html output... in google chrome I viewed the source and i see a character like a dash before the html tag, though it is not a character that I can copy and paste. Can someone help me please? This is urgent, I have a deadline for the project. More Information: URL of the site is: http://skubu.com/sys/superadmin/login.php the problem I am having is in internet explorer 8. If you make a comparison, the page shows fine in all browsers other than ie (tested in chrome and firefox). The code for login.php is: PHP: <?php include 'inc/settings.php'; if (isset($_SESSION["username"])) $username = $_SESSION["username"]; elseif (isset($_COOKIE["username"])) $username = $_COOKIE["username"]; if (isset($_SESSION["password"])) $password = $_SESSION["password"]; elseif (isset($_COOKIE["password"])) $password = $_COOKIE["password"]; if (isset($_COOKIE["remember"])) $remember = $_COOKIE["remember"]; ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title><?php echo $login_title;?></title> <link href="css/960.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" /> <link href="css/reset.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" /> <link href="css/text.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" /> <link href="css/login<?php echo $dir;?>.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" /> </head> <body dir="<?php echo $dir;?>"> <div class="container_16"> <div class="grid_6 prefix_5 suffix_5"> <h1><?php echo $login_title;?></h1> <div id="login"> <!--<p class="tip">You just need to hit the button and you're in!</p>--> <?php if (isset($_SESSION["errors"])) foreach ($_SESSION["errors"] as $err) echo '<p class="error">'.$err.'!</p>'; ?> <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="doLogin.php"> <p> <label><strong><?php echo $login_username;?></strong> <input type="text" name="username" class="inputText" id="textfield" value="<?php if (isset($username)) echo $username;?>"/> </label> </p> <p> <label><strong><?php echo $login_password;?></strong> <input type="password" name="password" class="inputText" id="textfield2" value="<?php if (isset($password)) echo $password;?>"/> </label> </p> <a class="black_button" href="#" onClick="document.form1.submit();"><span><?php echo $login_login;?></span></a> <label> <input type="checkbox" name="remember" id="checkbox" <?php if (isset($remember)) echo $remember;?>/> <?php echo $login_remember;?></label> </form> <br clear="all" /> <a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>?lang=english"><img src = "images\flag_icons\png\us.png" style="height:15px;" alt="english" border="0"></a> <a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>?lang=hebrew"><img src = "images\flag_icons\png\il.png" style="height:15px;" alt="hebrew" border="0"></a> </div> <div id="forgot"> <a href="#" class="forgotlink"><span><?php echo $login_forgot;?></span></a></div> </div> </div> <br clear="all" /> </body> </html> <?php unset($_SESSION["errors"]); unset($_SESSION["username"]); unset($_SESSION["password"]); ?>
I managed to solve it. What I did was, I converted all the encoding of the include files to utf8 without BOM and it worked. Can anyone tell me why this was the solution? Thanks for everything
