What file(s) do need to edit so I can insert this on the portal only?

Hmmm

I input this:

Code

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" width="100%">
  <tr> 
    <td align="right" valign="bottom" width="15" height="15"><img src="/gifs/gen_r-panela.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="[i]" name="gen_r-panela.gif"></td>
    <td background="/gifs/gen_r-panelb.gif" align="center" valign="bottom" height="15"></td>
    <td width="15" align="left" valign="bottom" height="15"><img src="/gifs/gen_r-panelc.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="[i]" name="gen_r-panelc.gif"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td background="/gifs/gen_r-paneld.gif" width="15" align="right" valign="top"> </td>
                <td align="left" valign="top" background="/gifs/gen_panelbg.gif"> 
                  <table width="100%" class="t_inner" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#121218">
                    <tr> 
                      <td class="tdheader"> Latest Headlines</td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr> 
                      <td class="alt-1" valign="top">
                        <?php
include("/home/www/hosts/www.mydomain.co.uk/mydir/my.txt");
?>
                      </td>
                    </tr>
                  </table>
                </td>
    <td background="/gifs/gen_r-panele.gif" width="15" align="left" valign="top"> </td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td width="15" align="right" valign="top" height="15"><img src="/gifs/gen_r-panelf.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="[i]" name="gen_r-panelf.gif"></td>
    <td background="/gifs/gen_r-panelg.gif" align="left" valign="top" height="15"> </td>
    <td width="15" align="left" valign="top" height="15"><img src="/gifs/gen_r-panelh.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="[i]" name="gen_r-panelh.gif"></td>
  </tr>
</table>

But get (see attached file) only the html and not

Code

<?php
include("/home/www/hosts/www.mydomain.co.uk/mydir/my.txt");
?>

What have I done wrong?
