newbie: include produces 'funny' HTML

Testing a very basic template, something to the
effect of:

<?
include ("header.php");
print ("<BR>content goes here<BR>");
include ("footer.html"); #there's no php code in the footer
?>

For some reason this places the "footer" *inside* the
table of the header, but placing the client side source
into a browser produces the correct effect. I'm sure
it's simple and I'll come up with it sometime, but it's
late and I'm brain dead....anyone up with insight?

Is this the new version of pHP? What version of PHP might you be on and what server platform are you on?

It could be that you have incorrect HTML, sometimes people forget to close the <table> and it hashes everything up - validate the code and it will tell you if it is OK. http://www.w3.org

and don't forget that some browsers do not like extra line spaces in the closing or opening tr and td tags..
