Using include () within the <head> tags

Recommended Posts

Are there any problems with calling an include file from within the <header> tags?

 

The reason I'm asking is that I'm trying to load a speficied Style sheet based on a user's location and so I'm running a short script to determine which Style sheet needs to be displayed ... and that script is called from within the header tag.

 

I haven't heard of any problems with doing this in the past, but the script seems to be generating an extra set of <HTML> tags in my source code and I can't figure out why this might be!

 

Thanks,

can you post up the code from your pages(both the php query and an example of the resulting erronious html) and we can have a look see what the problem may be?

 

Definitely - thanks for the replies so far.

 

Here's the code I'm using in my index page. You can see the include function four lines from the bottom:

 

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.mydomain.com/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="../style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
    <?
include "functions/getStyle.php";
     ?>
    <link rel="icon" href="http://www.playpokeronline.net/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
    <meta name="google-site-verification" content="cwKF364Iet1xHF8hrPgV2prykHYo4I2vN7JU3p2GufQ" />

 

The getStyle.php contains this code which basically queries a Maxmind Database to determine a player's location.

 

Dependant on the results, the script should then load one of a handful of CSS files.

 

<?php

include("geoip.inc");

// Uncomment if querying against GeoIP/Lite City.
// include("geoipcity.inc");

$gi = geoip_open("/home/user/public_html/geoIP/GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD);

$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$country=geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, "$ip");

geoip_close($gi);

switch ($country) {
    case US:
        echo '<link rel="stylesheet" href="../style/us.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />';
        break;
 case GB:
        echo '<link rel="stylesheet" href="../style/gb.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />';
        break;
case CA:
        echo '<link rel="stylesheet" href="../style/ca.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />';
        break;	
case AU:
        echo '<link rel="stylesheet" href="../style/au.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />';
        break;	
    default:
       echo '<link rel="stylesheet" href="../style/default.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />';
}
?>

 

Technically it works - the correct style sheet loads up, but I'm left with this extra HTML tag in the middle of my original <head> tag.

 

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

 

I hope that makes sense - feel free to ask any more questions if not. I really appreciate the help!
