Code:
<html>
<?php
include("something.php");
?>
</html>
Of course with all of your other html code for your main page in there as well.

Now I'm confused (I'm new at this) When people type in my url they will not get the .php index file, they get my .html index file. This is where I want to include this stuff. If there is a way that when people go to my url they will get the index.php file that would be great.
Another point where I'm lost is: I don't have a template in my list (from the admin control panel) for Index.php Should I be using the Forumhome.php file for this? Also, I copied the code for the topposts list that I want (one that I see on Eva2000's site and on Paintball.com) and created a template called Toppost. I then tried to insert the include command you gave me in the Forumhome file, but nothing showed up. I changed the "something.php" to toppost.php of course, but nothing, not even a bit of code showing through.
I really like the paintball home page, as it has everything I want to include in mine. But......
