Help - Ghost in the machine
Alright, here's the deal:

i wrote a couple of scripts and have them output HTML.

but it's ALSO outputting HTML that I DO NOT tell it to do.
i can't find the problem.

First the main .php :

Code:
<?php
include 'CheckLogin.php';

?>

<html>
	<head>
		<meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="content-type">
		<title>GetMiPi - Register</title>

	</head>



<?php

include 'topmenu.php';

include 'startpielist.php';

//Connecting to your database
$Con = mysql_connect($hostnameCon, $usernameCon, $passwordCon);
mysql_select_db($dbnameCon); 
	$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM PIES WHERE Owner = '$username'") or die(mysql_error());
	while ($query_row = mysql_fetch_array($sql))
	{
		$pieID = $query_row['ID'];
		$pieOwner = $query_row['Owner'];
		$pieKind = $query_row['Kind'];
		$pieBaked = $query_row['Baked'];
		$pieCHEK  = $query_row['CHEK'];
		include 'PieList.php';

	}
?>


The "topmenu.php" :
Code:
<?php

?>

<body
 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(148, 164, 68);"
 alink="#006600" link="#6666cc" vlink="#3366ff">
<big><big><big></big></big></big>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<table
 style="text-align: center; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204); width: 100%; height: 49px;"
 border="4" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td
 style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204); text-align: center; vertical-align: top;"><big><big><big><span
 style="font-weight: bold;"><a
 href="http://www.getmipi.com/FAQ.html">FAQ</a>
&nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="http://getmipi.com/forums/">FORUMS</a>
&nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="http://getmipi.com/Contact.html">CONTACT</a>
&nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="http://getmipi.com/Media/Media.html">MEDIA</a></span></big></big></big><br>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
</div>


next: "StartPieList.PHP"

Code:
<?php
// start pie table
?>
<------- start of pie list header ------>
<table style="width: 800px; height: 560px; text-align: left; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" border="4" 

cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center; background-color: rgb(153, 153, 255);">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br>
<table style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204); width: 700px; height: 131px; text-align: left; margin-left: auto; 

margin-right: auto;" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width: 50px; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle;">
</td>
<--- End of pie list header  ---->
<?php

// end start of pie table


and now: "PieList.php"

Code:
<?php

?>

<--- Start Pie List --->
<table style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204); width: 700px; height: 131px; text-align: left; margin-left: auto; 

margin-right: auto;" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width: 50px; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle;">
<img style="width: 79px; height: 45px;" alt="" src="

<x=$pieimgx>

" hspace="10" align="middle"> </td>
<td>
 <br><div style="text-align: center;"><big>

ID:<?=$pieID?>

<BR>
Owner:<?=$pieOwner?>

<BR>
Kind:<?=$pieKind?>

<BR>
Baked:<?=$pieBaked?>

<BR>
CHEK:<?=$pieCHEK?>

<BR>
</big> </div>
 </td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<--- END Pie List --->

<BR>

<?php

?>


but here is the output (excerpting only the effected part):

Code:
<------- start of pie list header ------>
<table style="width: 800px; height: 560px; text-align: left; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" border="4" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">

</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<--- END Pie List --->

<br>


<--- Start Pie List --->
<table style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204); width: 700px; height: 131px; text-align: left; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">

You will notice that the first "<--- Start Pie List --->" has extra close tags in it for table and a few other things. But i cannot find what it's coming from.
I have found that if i exclude the "StartPieList.php" then the problem is resolved, but that also removes the intended layout.



As for all the frekystuff ( playing with the ?> and <?php , adding in <----StartPieList etc....) i was seeing if that was the problem and was also trying to narrow down the cause. those 2 basic elements are not the cause of the problem.

No. that was part of me trying different header/footers to find out if that could be effecting it.

and that doesn't explain where the automatically closing tags are coming from.

No. Browsers might.

Firefox does its best with bad HTML. This is bad HTML.

Code:
<img style="width: 79px; height: 45px;" alt="" src="

<x=$pieimgx>

" hspace="10" align="middle">
Why is your image source the string "<x=$pieimgx>" with 2 newlines on either side? Did you maybe mean for this to be a <?php ?> tag?
