PHP linking to bottom of page..

[yuppicide]

I have a new website using Wordpress. Wordpress uses PHP. On the main page it loads header.php for the top of the page and whatever else it loads, but footer.php is on the bottom of the page. In the middle is where my content loads.

Is there a way to put a link on my menu in PHP that when clicked will take the user to the bottom of the page?

I saw this tutorial here:

But don't know how to get it right in PHP. I tried and screwed up.

You don't need PHP to do this. It's just simply HTML.

Find an element in the footer that has an ID assigned to it. If there isn't one, then assign one. Then, just link to that ID using a normal link with a hash symbol in front of the ID name.

For instance, let's say the footer is wrapped in a div like this:

<div id="footer">Footer text</div>

Then, you simply link to it like this:

<a href="#footer">Jump to the footer</a>

So, it doesn't matter if the place I want to link to is in a seperate php file?

index.php loads up header.php as well as footer.php. In the header is the menu which will link to a section in the footer.

I did it, but take a look.. when you click the Music button it shifts everything over to the left:

I will have other buttons in the near future taking people to other sections on the bottom as well.

it wont matter because the end result is 1 page from the 3 separate pages. I dont see a scroll to bottom in that website. Curtiss is correct on his html.

yuppi - I don't even see a "music" button on that page.

To answer your question, though: no, it doesn't matter if the place you want to link to is in a separate file. When a PHP file is "included", all of the HTML it outputs becomes part of the HTML of the page in which it was included.

My apologies. I was fooling with the PHP and noticed some weird crap when I made a post, and a lot of what looked like some kind of Spanish or something. I didn't know how to fix all that and it looked to be too much.

I went back to default Wordpress theme and I am just now getting back here to post. I will find a suitable theme later or tomorrow and if I need help again I'll reply to this thread. Thanks.
