SmokingMan Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Okay, I have a page that's supposed to display a random quote when the page loads. I have the quotes set up in a php array and I use "require" to call this script when the page loads. I have looked at the script and the call for so long my eyes hurt and I can't seem to figure out why it's not loading. I don't have the page published yet but here are all of the files for you to look at. It's probably something very simple but I can't see it.HTML: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html><head> <!-- Last Updated On Saturday, May 08, 2010 --><meta name="keywords" content="Fort Wayne,Indiana,Summit City,Three Rivers,The Pointe,NE Indiana" /><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" /><meta content= "Mike Saylor" name= "author" /><!-- Linked Stylesheet Libraries--><link href="stylesheets/FtwinStylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /><title>Welcome To FTWIN.com</title></head><body><div class="container"> <div class="body"> <div class="lcolumn"> <a href="http://www.ftwin.com" title="www.ftwin.com"><img alt="ftwin2 (10K)" src="images/logos/ftwin2.png" class="noborder" height="125" width="250" /> </a> <img alt="dogrun (12K)" src="images/dogrun.gif" height="35" width="200" /> <a href="http://thepointechurch.net/messages"><img alt="The Pointe Logo (13.56K)" src="http://thepointechurch.net/assets/1103/4-5-9REF.JPG" class="noborder" height="187" title="The Pointe Church Podcasts" width="200" /> </a> <div class="quotes"> <?php require("scripts/random-quote.php"); ?> </div> </div> <div class="rcolumn"> <div class="rbanner"> <a href="http://www.icdsoft.com" title="Web Hosting By ICDSoft.com" onclick="java script:document.location='http://www.icdsoft.com?aff=mgsaylor.FtwinMain';return false;"> <img width="728" height="90" border="0" src="http://reseller.icdsoft.com/b/mgsaylor.FtwinMain/icdsoft-4_728x90.gif" alt="Web Hosting By ICDSoft.com"/> </a> </div> <div class="rcontent"> <p><img alt="FortWayneSkyline (15K)" src="images/FortWayneSkyline.jpg" class="fwskyline" height="133" title="Fort Wayne Skyline" width="225" /> blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and finally blah </p> </div> </div></div> <div class="footer">footer ads and stuff</div> <div class="bottom"><!-- --></div></div></body></html> CSS: /* FTWIN.com Stylesheet - Last updated Saturday, May 08, 2010 */.container { width:100%; background:#f0ffff;}.rbanner { width:100%; height:125px; text-align:center;}.body { width:95%; margin-left:2.5%; text-align:center;}.lcolumn { float:left; padding-top:20px; width:23%; text-align:center;}.quotes { padding-top:20px; padding-left:15px; padding-bottom:20px; padding-right:15px; font-family:'Comic Sans MS','Monotype Corsiva',cursive; font-weight:500; font-style:italic; color:#8b0000; text-align:justify;}.rcolumn { float:right; padding-top:20px; width:76%; text-align:center;}.rcontent { padding-top:21px; padding-left:2.5%; padding-right:2.5%; text-align:justify;}.fwskyline { float:right; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px;}.footer { clear:both; padding-top:20px; width:95%; margin-left:2.5%; text-align:center;}.bottom { clear:both;}.noborder { border:0;} PHP Script: <?php //Randomizes quotes to be displayed on web page, all quotes are stored in the array //"$quotes".

dsonesuk Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I think it is the way the text is added to the array two double quotes, at start, and it does not seem to finish at end correctly.try starting, finishing with single quote, you will also have to escape any apostrophes in the text also example below:'"Always go to other people\'s funerals, otherwise they won\'t come to yours."<br /><br />~ Yogi Berra ~',try a couple first, with and without apostrophes within text as a test, before doing them all.
