I have a live site that includes different php files depending on what page the user is trying to access. The header and footer are the same, but in the file, if the user requests filename1.php vs filename2.php, a different php is loaded into the content of the page. Basic CMS stuff.
On the live site, it works fine. I just set up a local dev environment, and it doesn’t work. The file that is supposed to load into the middle of the page instead is the only file loaded. I’m not saying this well. Here’s an example:
How it works live:
<html>
<head>
Stuff
</head>
<body>
More stuff
<? include( 'some_file.php' ); ?>
</body>
</html>
How it works locally:
<? include( 'some_file.php' ); ?>
Just that file loads, no other content.
Any thoughts on why that one page is loading, but not the surrounding content? If I’m not explaining this well, please let me know.
Edit:
This might be a better explanation? or not.. Anyway, it’s like the included page, instead of loading into the middle of the index file, is loading instead of the index file.
Edit 2:
Here is what it looks like live, which can be seen at http://saloncosabella.com/our_team/meet_our_team : live http://img.skitch.com/20100510-j36r58pu6kjrmekexixh81f96i.jpg
And here is what it looks like locally:
local http://img.skitch.com/20100510-q29f2uq34g5pp68w5ke77dddks.jpg
The html that shows up on the local site (not all that pretty, I know):

Compare phpinfo() outputs on both servers. See what is different.
Maybe that way you can determine why this happens.
Also, you could try a third server — maybe some virtual machine already pre-configured for LAMPP. See what happens.
And last, try to make a simple test case, compare the results.
