Ok, here comes the problem:

I have a php script to handle a form, if validation is ok, I send a mail and show the resulting information on the page.

I want the page to be formated with my css file. So my php script look like this:

Everything is showed, but not formated. And I cannnot put the Header on top cause parts of the script requires that header must not been sent.

Any clue? Thanks

Perhaps you have the wrong path to your css file? Have you checked the server error logs?

I assume you have something like

<?php
<some code here>
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>my title</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyles.css">
</head>
<body>
some text here
</body>
</html>

Exact, and I double-checked the path to my css file.
Relative or absolute, neither works but they both are correct.

That's a little weird. This works for me but might entail additional work:

wherein I defined a settings.php containing something like:

<?php
ini_set(max_execution_time,"15");
define ("SITE_ROOT", "http://localhost/");
more php settings....
and still more of them here....
?>

Then I include the settings.php via

<?php
session_start();
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/settings.php');
--- or ---
require_once("settings.php");
.
.
.
more php codes...
?>

at the beginning of the php file.

Hope this helps.
