Something is missing, I think. Just to make sure I didn't have anything I overlooked in setting up the object oriented code, I added the following (in bold) to a section of code you told me to add:
Code:
ob_start();
require("/home/napathon/public_html/ssi/header.php");
$my_header_file = ob_get_contents();
die($my_header_file);
ob_end_clean();
My header displayed as it should when I did the above. I also made sure that I had followed all your instructions in modifying the code, but when I added the code into the template, it didn't display my header and footer. Any ideas why?
