Ok I figured it out. I didnt realize that the folders in the web root were case sensitive. So instead of "templates" I named the folder "Templates" and "css" as "CSS". As soon as I exchanged the capital letters for lowercase letters, it worked fine.

..the filenames are correct I just need to know how to make my PHP script reconize the folders in my web root, as it does the same with the downloaded sript "script08_04"

Hello, I am having a problem with Chapter 8 "Creating Web Applications" pg. 195. While running my "index.php" through my web browser, I get several warning as follows: (It also happens with the downloaded script for this book "script_08_04") Warning: include(header.html) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/87/8276687/html/index.php on line 11 Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'header.html' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /home/content/87/8276687/html/index.php on line 11 Welcome to a J.D.

If I put all files in the web root It has no warnings but It doesn't incorporate the CSS file. " It doesn't look like example "D" on p. 195 " I was wondering if anyone knows what these warnings are and how to remedy the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply Craig-UK, That was the error. Cant believe i missed that, kind of embarrassing
