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:

[code]<?php
// Important! You have to include it before your html code
include_once "/usr/home/sites/www.website.com/poll/db/poll_cookie.php";
?>

<?php

# Include necessary files here
include ("blah.php");

# Left column
$LeftWindow = FormatLeftColumn();

# Main column
$MainWindow = "

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=10 width=600 align=center>
<tr>
<td valign=top>


<?php
include_once "/usr/home/sites/www.unknowncountry.com/poll/db/booth.php";
$php_poll->set_template_set("Custom Template");
echo $php_poll->poll_process("newest");
?>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

";

# Main page
include ("main.phtml");

?>
[/code]

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

[code]
# Main column
$MainWindow = "

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=10 width=600 align=center>
<tr>
<td valign=top>";


<?php
include_once "/usr/home/sites/www.unknowncountry.com/poll/db/booth.php";
$php_poll->set_template_set("Custom Template");
echo $php_poll->poll_process("newest");
?>

"</td>
</tr>
</table>

";

# Main page
include ("main.phtml");

?>
[/code]

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!

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!
