All of a sudden, the footer.php does not show on my website, but I can clearly see the file on my server and can add links in the file, but nothing shows...any ideas?
A link to the site would probably help. How is the footer.php included in other files? Are you getting any console-errors?
Could be one too many divs you closed/left open, something you did in the css, a fatal php error that you are not displaying, etc. A link to the site or some code would be helpful.
I appreciate your response.. http://4do.org/ i have owned this site for several years and this happened suddenly..i am sure its simply fix, i just cant find it
Wow. That code... it's so bad it should be taken behind the shed and shot. Repeatedly. Over and over. And then again. That being said - since we have no idea what the content of footer.php is, there's no way to know if it's there or not, but the site itself doesn't show any missing code, non-showing html or other errors. So I'm assuming there's an error in parsing, or similar. However - when you load up a link on the page, say the first one, "Advertising", it loads up http://4do.org/realtors-469.html - which is a html-file, not a php-file. You won't be able to load footer.php into that, unless you're doing some trickery behind the scenes.
There is something wrong going on with your "link/category calculation script". This happened last year (sometime after August 30th). To me it seems like a fatal error is occurring in your website that is stopping it from loading the rest of the content (as you can see from your source). Have you made any changes to hosting, configurations, etc.. Try enabling error reporting on your main index.php file and then you can actually see the error that is occurring: <?php error_reporting(-1); ini_set('display_errors', 'on'); PHP:
Are we looking at the same page? I can't for the life of me get up any errors (except if I turn adblock off, I get a "Favicon not found" 404-error - hardly a page-killer.
It is more like an educated guess. His current page source ends in: <HR SIZE=1 COLOR="#DDDDDD"> Code (markup): I assumed that something is suppose to be there, which waybackmachine confirms: <HR SIZE=1 COLOR="#DDDDDD"><!-- insert link/category calculation script --> Code (markup): Usually this happened to me in the past when a fatal error occurs and error reporting is turned of, the page just stops outputting anything.
Ah, true. I looked at the code, and it was missing so much proper formatting I didn't even think about it might missing something.
you probably have a broken HTML code somewhere above it ? say </b a tag isn't closed somewhere so its not reading the include('footer.php') as a code of its own. thats usually the problem..check your code first.
