Because you need to modify the existing overall_header.tpl (plain HTML syntax for the most part, it's fairly well commented so long as you're using a phpBB.com supplied template) in templates/subSilver (that's the defautlt, substitute your template name) rather than trying to send out a whole 'nother header, since the html standard only allows for one header per page

That document also contains the CSS for the template, so watch out for carelessly editing it.

Azurael gave the right answer!

It's the overall_header.tpl that you have to edit, just add your html or php code in that file (templates > Subsilver if you use that template), no need to add code in the page_header.php or index.php file.

Speaking of editing the header gave me inspiration

I like my new design

Lame, yeah, thats the way I usually do it, just this time I wanted to lay a header that is common to the whole website to it, so I was hoping I could just include the php file. Looks like I'll have to do it another way then!!
Cheers guys
