   I'm trying to list certain categories in a file I named categories.php, but each time I refresh I get

   Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_list_cats() in /home/sites/daisymedia.net/public_html/movies/categories.php on line 10

   I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Help, anyone? Here's the coding for categories.php

   <? include('header.php'); ?>

   <div class=storycontent>
   <h3>The reviews</h3>

   Below are listed the movies reviewed so far. All movies have been set as categories, and may contain several reviews, each by another reviewer.

   
<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&exclude=1, 17'); ?>


   
</div>
<? include('footer.php'); ?>

   Any help appreciated!

   You might try re-uploading template-functions-category.php (in the wp-includes/ directory). This is the script which holds the wp_list_cats() function, and possible it's corrupted or incomplete.

   EDIT: Read over your post again and it appears this is for a PHP document which is not part of the standard WP theme template hierarchy. To use a WordPress function in PHP scripts which reside outside WordPress, you need to include the wp-blog-header.php file, found in your blog's root directory.
