Centering PHP included files

Ok, I've got a php file that builds the header and navigation bar for a webpage, and then uses a php include to include the file that builds the center of the page (this file is built by another program). The problem I'm having is that when I include the html file that builds the center of the page, some of the properties are lost. First of all, the table width shrinks down to about 1/3rd the size, and I cannot get the including page to be centered.

Here is what hte file I'm including looks like on its own:
http://www.clan-loh.com/dynasty/Schedule.htm

As you can see, it's a nice wide table and it's centered nicely in the page. However, when I include it into the other page the page looks like this:
http://www.clan-loh.com/dynasty/schedule.php

The color changing is fine (style sheet), but as you can see the table size has shrunk considerably and it's not centered. I've tried sticking center tags EVERYWHERE I can think of (around the include statement, within the included file, etc) and cannot get it to center.

Here is the code for the two files:

schedule.php (the main page):
Code:
<?
include "/home/clanloh/www/www/dynasty/library.php";

Initialize("dyNASTY -- Where Fantasy Football Champions Come to Play", "4A4A4A", "E5A918", "E5A918", "E5A918");

MakeHeader();

echo '<table border="0" cellpadding ="0" cellspacing="0">';
echo '<tr>';
//left side
echo '<td valign="top">';
	LeftSide();
echo '</td>';

echo '<td>';
	echo '&nbsp';
echo '</td>';

//Center section
echo '<td align="center" valign="top">';
		include "Schedule.htm";
echo '</td>';

echo '</tr>';
echo '</table>';

echo '</body>';
echo '</html>';
?>
Schedule.htm (the included file):
Code:
<html>

<head>

i think the problem is in your initial php file, your root table in which the left menu and the centre bit are enlcosed has no width definition

try this code for schedule.php:
Quote:
<?
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/107132-centering-php-included-files.html
include "/home/clanloh/www/www/dynasty/library.php";

Initialize("dyNASTY -- Where Fantasy Football Champions Come to Play", "4A4A4A", "E5A918", "E5A918", "E5A918");

MakeHeader();

echo '<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding ="0" cellspacing="0">';
echo '<tr>';
//left side
echo '<td valign="top">';
LeftSide();
echo '</td>';

echo '<td>';
echo '&nbsp';
echo '</td>';

//Center section
echo '<td align="center" valign="top">';
include "Schedule.htm";
echo '</td>';

echo '</tr>';
echo '</table>';

echo '</body>';
echo '</html>';
?>
