There should be no difference. I have a feeling that there is something that you added to the php file that affected it in some way. I'm sure if you take the working file and save it with a .php extension without changing anything that it will work just the same. If this isn't the case, then there is something definitely fishy about this.

Good luck!

One thing I can think of is that perhaps you some how changed, added, or removed the DTD at the top of the file by running it through some application you opened the file with.

Also, it's a good idea to validate the templates at the W3C

W3C Validator - HTML [validator.w3.org]
W3C Validator - CSS [jigsaw.w3.org]

the DTD was left in tact

the only thing I added is a php command right before all the html syntax - it is what I can think of - I will test it with the original file and see what happens. expect some updates
