Dear everyone,

I write a HTML frame to include some php3 files. And this frame allow user to resize it, but the problem is when the first line of any included php3 file is <? ?>, well, it is just comments inside the <? ?>. It cause my Netscape browser illegal operation when i resize the Netscape window, but it works fine when i change the <? ?> to <?php ?> or put <html> as a first line.

Can someone explain to me?

Thank you

William.

The Netscape browser should not encounter these tags at all, because PHP will process these tags and return HTML. How do you include PHP files in HTML? I think it's impossible (I mean, for Netscape to ever see these tags)...
Please clarify!

It seems that header information is not passed properly to the browser.

It seems to me that PHP is not set to use short tags (i.e. <? ?> ) on your server. Then you must use <?php ?>.
Put the following command into a file named for example 'phpinfo.php3':
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
When you open that file in your browser you will see all the settings (of PHP, Apache, MySQL) of your server.
