Ok, in the admin panel, I created a page called links.html and put in some text.

Then I took your php code and created a page called links.php and uploaded it to the root directory, but none of the text in links.html is showing up in the links.php.

The links.php works as it does show all the header and footer information, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong that the stuff from links.html isn't showing up on the php page. What did I do wrong?
