Unfortunately it still doesn't work. I've put a cut-down example of this on my website.
The source code is here ...
www.dracan.co.uk/index_test_php.txt
www.dracan.co.uk/header_test_php.txt
and the actual pages are here ...
www.dracan.co.uk/index_test.php
www.dracan.co.uk/header_test.php
I'm sure it must be something simple, but I can't for the life of me see what it is. Then again, I am extremely new to php.
Thanks for your help with this,
Regards,
Dan.
