Hi folks, i've been making a php website and using google chrome to test it. Seeing as i run Ubuntu i never tested it on I.E
After putting up a beta for some people to test the running parts, a friend running Windows told me that it doesn't display anywhere near properly.
I've read that if you don't tell i.e the DOCTYPE it wont work properly. but what one do i use?! there are so many and i've never even thought about it before.
My theme.php (which almost all pages use) is coded as such:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
<?php
include "menu.php";
include_once "config.php";
include_once "title.php";
include "newmember.php";
?>
<?php
function ae_detect_ie()
{
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) &&
(strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') !== false))
return true;
else
return false;
}
?>
<?php if (ae_detect_ie()) {
$intro = "<h1>OOPS!</h1>It seems, that your are using Microsofts Internet Explorer and this website, sadly, will not display properly.
Why not to switch to standard-complaint brower, like
<a href=\"http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/\">Firefox</a>?
or <a href=\"http://www.google.com/chrome/\">Google chrome</a> (recommended)
"; }
else {$intro = $intro;}
?>
<?php $mainb = "<html>
