PHP script problem

[themcnabs]

The master border is the same on all the pages of the site. When I make a change to it the changes are reflected on all pages including the home page. The only exception is the script, it displays on all pages except the home page.

That is exactly what I have been trying to tell you.

Unless the folder where the script resides is off the ROOT folder of the
website and you use an absolute path to it, then it will work on the home
page, or on all other pages - but not both.

This means that if you want it to work on all pages, you will need a
different (a copy is fine) master border for the home page, and when you
enter the path to the script on that page - it will need to have the
correct path to the script.

Again this is because the home page and the other pages are NOT in the same
folder (unless you changed NOF to publish "flat").

Therefore the path to the script IS going to be different from the home vs
the other pages.

A copy of the master border set as the master border for the home page, and
then an adjustment of how the script is called from there should get you
going.

For an example of this in real life, look at the "Centered" page tutorial
for EZRound at this URL:

http://www.ezround.com/centered/

You will see that when we put the border for the home page in place, it
requires a copy of the master border set as the border for the home page -
and that the path to the images has be adjusted ( one dot vs two dots ).

Good luck on your projects!

...or use an Absolute, instead of Relative, path to the script. Instead of "/search.inc.php", use "http://www.sierravistarealestateaz.com/search.inc.php"... that way it will work no matter where the page is located. But that's not the whole problem because none of that CSS code that's associated with the script is showing up on the home page, either, and that's not part of the include statement. This still makes me suspicious of the masterborder. Totally sure they've got the same masterborder?

I put in an absolute path and it is now working. I tried all the dot combinations and it did not work, and I understand how they work completely. It doesn't make sense but it is working now.
