this is, I'm sure, basic PHP stuff, but I don't know that language. I tried looking through PHP tutorials to try and get an answer, but nothing seemed to make sense... I just need someone who knows a bit about PHP and SMF themes to take a look at this and let me know what I'm doing wrong.
I'm tweaking the index.template.php file for a copy of the default 1.18 theme. What I'm trying to do is add the same main site navigation under my banner that I have on the rest of my site, thus allowing my readers to get back to the other parts of my site.
The banner is in a table (as you guys know), so I figured to easiest thing to do was add another tr and td and drop my navigation UL into that td.
The problem I get is when I try to save it... I've managed to figure out that I need to properly get the echo', ', and ; commands in the right place, but I don't know PHP so I don't know what echo' or '; actually mean to be able to put them in the right places.
After about an hour and a half mangling variations with no luck, I decided to turn here for help. Someone please give me a hint on how to format this html to php! Please?
//this first TR works fine, I just changed URLs and CSS

Thanks!!
