'include' does not self-contain styling - php

I'm trying to set up a universal navigation bar. I'm using include to import menu.php into index.php. When I do, it works fine; however, when I add something after the menu.php include, the menu's CSS rules carries on.
index.php
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<link rel=stylesheet href="css/style.css" />
<title>Home | Website</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php include 'menu.php'; ?>
<p>Test</p>
</body>
</html>
menu.php
<head>
<title>Menu | Website</title>
<style>
// menu-only styles...
</style>
</head>
<body>
Home
</body>
<?php return; ?>

You're essentially including an HTML page within an HTML page doing it your way.
To get your CSS to target only your menu, keep it in your style.css file, but make your div have a "menu" class.
Something like this should do what you're looking for, I believe.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<link rel=stylesheet href="css/style.css" />
<title>Dare Network | Home</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php include 'menu.php'; ?>
<p>Test</p>
</body>
</html>
style.css
html,body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background-color: #777777;
}
.menu {
/* padding: top&&bottom left&&right; */
padding:10px 0;
background-color: #7786ff;
text-align: center;
}
.menu a {
/* merge transitions into one line to make both functional */
transition: background-color .25s ease-in-out, padding-bottom .25s ease-in-out;
background-color: #b20000;
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
/* padding:top right bottom left */
padding:10px 10px 5px 10px;
}
.menu a:hover {
background-color: #cc0000;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}
menu.php
<div class="menu">
Home
</div>

This is not a PHP issue
Your CSS in menu.php comes later in the DOM than your actual stylesheet and therefore is being overwritten. Either scope your menu.php styles with some containing element or put your menu CSS code earlier in the DOM (like before style.css)

You are almost a bit closer to what you code. A HTML page can have only one html,head,title,body tag.
Just remove these html,head,title,body tags from menu.php
index.html
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<link rel=stylesheet href="css/style.css" />
<title>Dare Network | Home</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php include 'menu.php'; ?>
<p>Test
</body>
</html>
style.css
html,body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background-color: #777777;
}
menu.php
<style>
body {
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
background-color: #7786ff;
text-align: center;
}
a {
transition: background-color .25s ease-in-out;
transition: padding-bottom .25s ease-in-out;
background-color: #b20000;
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
padding-left: 10px;
}
a:hover {
background-color: #cc0000;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}
</style>
Home
<?php return; ?>

PHP changes color in the navbar

I'm just starting with HTML and PHP and I ran into the following problem:
When having a PHP command the webpage shows wrong colors!
With PHP command (<?php phpinfo( ); ?>)
Without PHP command:
It's pretty clear to see that the navbar elements change color, depending on the command, but why?
I can't get this fixed, no matter what I do. Here's my other code:
PHP-Source-File:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP-Info</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./css/index.css" type="text/css" media="all">
</head>
<body>
<ul class="navbar">
<li class="navbar"><a class="navbar" href="index.php">Home</a></li>
<div style="float: right;">
<li class="navbar"><a class="navbar" href="">Server-Info</a></li>
<li class="navbar"><a class="navbar active" href="phpinfo.php">PHP-Info</a></li>
</div>
</ul>
<div>
<?php phpinfo( ); ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Stylesheet:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;
font-size: 100%;
}
body {
margin-top: 55px;
}
ul.navbar {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 5.4%;
list-style-type: none;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: rgba(33, 33, 33, 0.35);
}
li.navbar {
float: left;
}
li a.navbar {
display: block;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
}
li a:hover.navbar {
border-bottom: 4px solid dodgerblue;
}
li a.active.navbar {
background-color: #666666;
border-bottom: 4px solid #666666;
}
In your CSS stylesheet I see you have :hover and :active before your classes. Try switching them around, like this:
li a.navbar:hover {
border-bottom: 4px solid DodgerBlue;
}
li a.navbar:active {
background-color: #666666;
border-bottom: 4px solid #666666;
}
EDIT: Plus you had a period . instead of a colon : before active.
It is also a good idea to capitalize your color names. DodgerBlue instead of dodgerblue. Some browsers are strict about this.

External CSS File

I am trying to include an external css into my PHP file:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/base.css">
</head>
my CSS File:
.carousel-inner > .item > img,
.carousel-inner > .item > a > img {
width: 100%;
margin: auto;
display: block;
margin-top:50px;
}
body {
font: 20px Montserrat, sans-serif;
line-height: 1.8;
overflow-y:hidden;
}
.container-fluid {
background-image:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAKCAYAAACNMs+9AAAAWklEQVQoU2P8P5PhPwMDAwNjOgMjiMYFGIlWiM2E1oMvwbZU24vDbUFYN/P/f4Z0RjAfv0J8DgT5AUM3ksnIejEV4jAZa5B8mhkH9gxf+iIsnkEyiWiF2GwHAGuiJAtmjT1hAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC);
repeat;
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 70px;
}
p{
}
.btn-success {
background-color: #85C1E9;
border:0;
}
.bg-1 {
background-color: #1abc9c; /* Green */
color: #ffffff;
}
.bg-2 {
background-color: #474e5d; /* Dark Blue */
color: #ffffff;
}
.bg-3 {
background-color: #ffffff; /* White */
color: #555555;
}
.navbar {
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
border: 0;
border-radius: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
font-size: 15px;
letter-spacing: 4px;
}
col-sm-4:hover {
color:#85C1E9;
}
.navbar-nav li a:hover {
color: #85C1E9 !important;
}
.helper {
margin:auto;
padding-top: 50px;
}
.col-sm-4:hover {
background:url("data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAcAAAAHCAYAAADEUlfTAAAAJklEQVQYV2OMq7zlw4ADMIIkF7WrbUGX/3+G4f+ASS4MVtuMzcEAiGEnwSwsT0sAAAAASUVORK5CYII=")
repeat;
}
The stylesheet is obviously used, but the plaintext is also seen in the PHP file. If tried adding type or leave it away, href as /css/base.css and without leading /, but somehow I won't get rid of the plain text in my file. Any Idea whats causing it?
The PHP File:
<html>
<head>
<title>Awesome Title</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/base.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/my.js"></script>
<script>
...
</script>
<header id="myPage" data-spy="scroll" data-target=".navbar" data-offset="50">
...
</head>
</header>
<body>
..
</body>
EDIT:
Found the error, there was a sneaky include(css/base.css)
I tried to validate your css using the W3 Css validator and it told me there's a parse error in your css. Namely you're closing the background-image: with a semicolon while on the line below theres a repeat;. This is a syntax error, and I think because it can't parse the css, it's just displayed as plain text.
You should know if you want to give styles to php output commands, like echo or print you have to type all of your html codes .
And type your php codes middle of body tags in HTML format . Like this :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body>
<?php
$text = "Hello World !";
echo "<p>" . $text . "</p>";
?>
</body>
</html>
But another problem that your code has is you typed a header tag inside head tags and close it after head closing tag and this will break the html programming grammar .

How to style diff implementation for PHP with CSS

http://code.stephenmorley.org/php/diff-implementation/#styling
I am following above link to test code.
I have put them together but in the browser but I am not seeing any nice color table just like author mentioned. I don't know how to include style code any idea on how to do that?
index.php
<?php
// include the Diff class
require_once './class.Diff.php';
// output the result of comparing two files as plain text
echo Diff::toTable(Diff::compareFiles('/tmp/foo1', '/tmp/foo2'));
?>
You need to include CSS on your page, either by embedding it in the <head> or by linking to an external stylesheet.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- external CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
<!-- embedded CSS -->
<style type="text/css">
.diff td {
vertical-align: top;
white-space: pre;
white-space: pre-wrap;
font-family: monospace;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
...
The link you provided gives an example of the minimum CSS needed for each td:
.diff td {
vertical-align: top;
white-space: pre;
white-space: pre-wrap;
font-family: monospace;
}
It also explains what classes you can style: diffUnmodified, diffDeleted, diffInserted, and diffBlank.
This is the CSS from the example page you linked:
.diff td {
padding :0 0.667em;
vertical-align: top;
white-space: pre;
white-space: pre-wrap;
font-family: Consolas,'Courier New',Courier,monospace;
font-size: 0.75em;
line-height: 1.333;
}
.diff span {
display: block;
min-height: 1.333em;
margin-top: -1px;
padding: 0 3px;
}
* html .diff span {
height: 1.333em;
}
.diff span:first-child {
margin-top: 0;
}
.diffDeleted span {
border: 1px solid rgb(255,192,192);
background: rgb(255,224,224);
}
.diffInserted span {
border: 1px solid rgb(192,255,192);
background: rgb(224,255,224);
}

Why does my <body> content get overlapped by the content "included" from an external file?

I was following this tutorial to learn about the include and include_once functions in PHP.
The following files work just fine:
index.php:-
<?php
include_once 'header.php';
echo 'variable';
header.php:-
<h1>My Page's Header</h1>
But when I try to include the following .php file into my index.php, it does not produce the desired result. The header rather overlaps and thus completely hides the 'variable'
What I want is that after I include the header from an external file, My page should start underneath the header. The header included from external file should not be considered included in my page, so none of the elements are overlapped or such. How can I achieve that?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>TODO supply a title</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<style>
.top-bar {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
background: #000029;
padding: 5px;
}
.logo {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
color: white;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="top-bar">
<img src="https://www.google.com.pk/images/srpr/logo11w.png" alt="Logo" class="logo" >
</div>
</body>
</html>
<?php
include_once 'header.php';
?>
<div id="parent_div" >
<script>
function getHeaderHeight() {
return document.getElementById("top-bar").height(); //top-bar is in header.php
}
document.getElementById("parent_div").style.padding-top="getHeaderHeight()";
</script>
<h1>Heading</h1>
</div>
That's because your header is set to position: fixed;. It is taken out of the document flow and will follow you as you scroll arround.
When you want it to not stick to the client top, change your css to this:
.top-bar {
position: relative;
background: #000029;
padding: 5px;
}
If you like your header to be fixed, you may also set a padding to the body of the document, that equals the height of your header.
Here you see your current problem: http://jsfiddle.net/Lc3W8/
Solution 1: http://jsfiddle.net/Lc3W8/1/
body
{
margin:0;
padding:0;
height: 3000px;
/*new:*/
padding-top: 30px;
}
.top-bar
{
position: fixed;
left:0;
right:0;
top:0;
height: 30px;
background-color: blue;
}
Solution two: http://jsfiddle.net/Lc3W8/2/
body
{
margin:0;
padding:0;
height: 3000px;
}
.top-bar
{
height: 30px;
background-color: blue;
}

Couple of page layout problems

I'm having some trouble getting my page laid out the way I want. I have a gap that's showing up between two divs on my page, and a css menu that I can't figure out how to center. Any help would be appreciated...
FYI, template_header.php is the only template with any content in it at this point.
Here is the code...
* index.php *
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body >
<?php include './templates/template_header.php'; ?>
<div id="pageBody">
<?php
include './templates/template_contextmenu.php';
include './templates/template_content.php';
include './templates/template_sidebar.php';
?>
</div>
<div id="pageFooter">
<?php include './templates/template_footer.php'; ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
* template_header.php *
<div class="banner" >
<img class="bannerImage" src="./graphics/FullLogo2.png" height="216" />
</div>
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li></li>
<li>Home</li>
<li>Products</li>
<li>Information</li>
<li>Contact</li>
<li>About</li>
</ul>
</div>
* style.css *
header, footer, aside, nav, article, section {
display: block;}
body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;}
div.banner {
background-image:url("./graphics/BannerBG_220.png") ;
background-repeat:repeat-x;
height:13.5em;
border:solid;
border-width:thin;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;}
.bannerImage {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;}
#menu{
position:relative;
display:block;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
height:2.25em;
font-size:1.25em;
font-weight: 500;
background:transparent url(./graphics/navbackground2.png) repeat-x ;
font-family:Arial,Verdana,Helvitica,sans-serif;}
#menu ul {
padding:0;
list-style-type:none;
width:auto;}
#menu ul li {
display:block;}
#menu ul li a {
display:block;
float:left;
color:#e5e5e5;
text-shadow: 2px 2px 2px #3d3d3d;
text-decoration:none;
padding: .4em 1.5em .2em 1.5em;
height: 2.25em;
background:transparent url(./graphics/MenuDivider.png) no-repeat top right;}
#menu ul li a:hover, #menu ul li a.current {
background: url(./graphics/NavBackgroundOn.png) repeat-x;}
You won't be able to center #menu using margin: 0 auto without a width. You can measure the width of the links with javascript and then set the sum of all link widths as the width of #menu. You'll see a short delay but it'll work.
As for the white gap, an inspection with Firebug will show you where the unwanted margin or padding is coming from.
Get rid of the whitespace around your php tags.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body >
<?php include './templates/template_header.php'; ?>
<div id="pageBody"><?php
include './templates/template_contextmenu.php';
include './templates/template_content.php';
include './templates/template_sidebar.php';
?></div>
<div id="pageFooter"><?php include './templates/template_footer.php'; ?></div>
</body>
</html>
To center it, try this in the css:
#pageFooter { margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; }
