Hey again. I have another query, but this time it's quite a simple question.. Hopefully. Well anyway, I've started my website on PHP. I have a 'header.php' 'footer.php' 'mainleft.php' 'mainright.php'. I've inserted them into my homepage so that I can create all of the other pages just by changing 'mainright.php' ('mainleft.php' is my navigation bar and 'mainright.php' will hopefully be the content of all the pages).
The only problem that i have is that i can't get mainright and mainleft beside each other. Instead, all of the files are below each other. Is what I'm trying to do possible?

That's to do with how your HTML is formatted and nothing to do with PHP. All your require() statements are doing is embedding the file you choose into the parent file - the PHP has nothing to do with the layout of the page.
FWIW, those aren't SSIs - Server Side Includes aren't part of PHP, they're a totally separate thing.

Well it all looks fine in the browser. Its just the problem of having the 'mainleft' and 'mainright' below each other rather than beside each other. So are you saying that I need to change the HTML in home.php?
Yup.
I've tried:
and
I'm guessing I'm completely way off

You say it looks fine in the browser - so what's the problem?
I mean the pages are all displayed in the order but I can't get the two 'main' pages beside each other
You have to sort the HTML in each of the files so that they are displayed appropriately.
As Nimco said 'All your require() statements are doing is embedding the file you choose into the parent file - the PHP has nothing to do with the layout of the page.'
So in your hompage file the code is just being produced from the content of all of the other files.
You'll need to play about with the allignment of the HTML code in the mainleft and mainright files to get it to do what you want.
