August 2, 201115 yr Hi everyone, I'm looking to completely redesign my website because it's outdated and not constant with the CSS layout that I use to display my Flickr photos. What I am essentially looking to do is redesign the PHP layout of my website and possible get rid of the html section unless I can make it consistent on both the HTML and PHP sections. I see a TON of beautiful layouts on the internet but nothing really to display what I would like. My website is pretty much a photography blog. My photos are pulled from my Flickr account using an API PHP code and on my HTML website, I update when I've posted pictures. Does anyone have an idea of a template out there that would be great for me to achieve both? I've done coding in HTML and CSS before so I am at intermediate level. My Current Website HTML page My Current Website PHP page As you can see, they are completely different. Any advice? I appreciate it Edited August 2, 201115 yr by Clarkee
August 4, 201115 yr You seem confused. You don't use either PHP or HTML, you use both in conjunction with each other. PHP is a server side language, whatever server side language you use the output will always be HTML. So your styling should not be affected by your server side language, you can style a page generated by PHP exactly the same as a static HTML page.

August 4, 201115 yr Author You seem confused. You don't use either PHP or HTML, you use both in conjunction with each other. PHP is a server side language, whatever server side language you use the output will always be HTML. So your styling should not be affected by your server side language, you can style a page generated by PHP exactly the same as a static HTML page. I apologize. I do seem to be completely confused. I am using HTML as my index (main website) and PHP as my photography blog where all my Flickr coding is so that all my sets and photos can be displayed. As you can see from the links I posted, I use PHP and an index for my photography blog. So when you're on the HTML site, you click the 'Photography' link, it take you to a PHP page. Is this okay to use? I found a template and I tried using the CSS layout on my HTML and it works great, but on the PHP, it works terribly. Here are screenshots of the new template (which I probably won't be using, but just to show you an example). HTML LAYOUT PHP LAYOUT
August 4, 201115 yr Author So I have been completely confused and went about this the wrong way. I've gotten A LOT farther now but I am still running into an issue. I have uploaded pictures as examples to better explain myself. For the HTML page, it displays like this. I have a DIV box that I put the PHP code in (you'll see it in the code) that will allow the PHP to be displayed. How my website looks After inserting the PHP code, It displays like this. HTML/PHP ERROR What I am trying to achieve is having the layout properly, and then everything just populating in the DIV code that I'm using. Code is below. Do I have the PHP inserted incorrectly? <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Clarke Computing</title> <link href="Website/new/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="topbar"> <div id="TopSection"> <h1 id="sitename"><a href="#"><i>Clarke Computing</i></a></h1> <div id="topbarnav"> <span class="topnavitems"></span></div> <ul id="topmenu"> <li class="active"><a href="Website/new/index.html">Home</a></li> <li><a href="Website/new/blog.html">Blog Entries</a></li> <li><a href="Website/new/photo.php">Photography</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div id="contents"> <div class="clear"></div> <p> <?php require_once(dirname(__FILE__) .

August 5, 201115 yr Author I have actually figured it out and was able to get everything laid out correctly. Thank you brightonmike for your help.
