<? require 'inc/right.php' ?>
<? require 'inc/footer.php' ?>
my file description are as follows.
header contains header
righ.php contains right side of page
why are my pages not shown fully? does there is a problem with slash / postion ??
is it different on windows and linux?

Answer 1

Are the files and directories for inc and inc/headers.php all lowercase in the filesystem? Unix filenames are case sensitive. Change the includes to require to see if it causes an error.

Answer 2

You're experiencing Windows and Linux are handling relative paths differently.
Use absolute paths (note that php on both Windows and Linux both accept the forward slash directory separator).
Assuming (a Linux server example) your application is always executing from absolute path:
/home/www/index.php
And your include scripts are located:
/home/www/inc/header.php
...
Then you can define an absolute path and concatenate it to each include string:
<?php
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__));
...
include ABSPATH . '/inc/header.php';
...
include ABSPATH . '/inc/footer.php';
?>

Answer 3

You should also check the line endings in all your files. If you developed on Windows, chances are pretty high that you have cr/lf line endings throughout your files, or even a mixed state. Depending on how you transferred the files to the Linux server, they might get converted or not. Especially a mixed state can cause trouble.
Another check would be the encoding of the files - these should also be consistent throughout your project. If they are in UTF-8, make sure that they don't have a Byte-order mark (BOM), as this can cause trouble with included files.

Answer 4

What do you mean by the "top parts"?
Also, try changing your php tags to explicitly label themselves as php, so
<?php ... ?>
instead of
<? ... ?>

Answer 5

The DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constant will help you here.
Replace:
require 'inc/header.php';
with:
require dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'inc' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'header.php';
And do something similar for the rest.
