Basic PHP integration..

I'm trying to integrate Gallery into a PHP-based site. The code I'm using is simple. However, Gallery doesn't display as intended.

<?php
include_once('layout.php');
$file = "gallery/albums.php";
$fp = fopen($file, "r");
echo fread($fp, filesize($file));
fclose($fp);
include_once('close.php');
?>

I have somewhat of a basic template (layout.php) and this code is supposedly used to load that and then put the gallery in beside the rest of the text on the page then add a footer (close.php). It works fine with all the other content, but not Gallery.

I hope I've explained this well. If not let me know. You can see what I've done at http://development.mattburdine.com[/i]

Instead of calling it from gallery.php (that I created), I editied index.php, albums.php, and init.php and added

include_once('layout.php');

into them. It now displays appropriately, but has to be called from http://development.mattburdine.com/gallery/
