Combining Advanced Poll with other PHP on a page

Hi. As goes the usual disclaimer around here, I don't know very much PHP, but I've been asked to work with it, so here I am. If any kind soul out there replies, assume I know nothing and walk me through the answer.

Here's the problem. I want to include a poll on a page already created dynamically with PHP. I don't understand PHP's syntax very well and my bungled attempts are keeping the page from loading completely.

Here's what's going on:

I've played with it a few different ways, trying:

But all that got me was either the Poll by itself, or the Poll in the upper left corner and the rest of the website below it. I want the poll to sit in the center of the larger table it's contained in. There isn't anything obvious in the template file I'm using that looks like it would break stuff, so I'm confused.

Can anyone out there show me how to do what I'm trying to do?

Thanks!

Daniel

Hi Daniel,
I find that working from a model usually helps me. I'm also a newbie but have had some success with what I think you're trying to do. Here's the code from my page. Good luck!
