PHP - Variables On A Php Include

Hi Guys.. Merry Christmas

Im kinda new to this fantastic world of PHP and i have a little problem i hope you can help me with.

Im trying to build a website where I use include() to genereate my content. On my index.php i have a menu which includes
content in a content div from external .php pages, my structure kinda goes like this.. (simplified)

site/
   index.php
   content/
       fronpage.php
       products.php
       contact.php

The HTML looks like this.

<div id="menu">
    <ul>
          <li><a href="index.php?page=frontpage">frontpage</a></li>
          <li><a href="index.php?page=products">frontpage</a></li>
          <li><a href="index.php?page=contact">frontpage</a></li>
    </ul>         
</div               

<div id="main">

<?php
     include('/content/'.$_GET['page'].'.php');
?>

</div>

This all works very fine, but my problem is, can I have a include inside an already included page?
I would like to have a menu on my products.php site, but that page is already included from above,
and i would like the menu on the products.php site to stay as the content from the nested include
changes with input from the /products folder.

my idea was something like this.

site/
   index.php
   content/
      frontpage.php
      products.php
      contact.php
      products/
         product1.php
         product2.php


the HTML on the index.php is the same as above and then i would add the include() on the
products.php page, so its kinda the same thing, but one inside the other.

HTML inside the products.php folder

<div id="sub_menu">
    <ul>
          <li><a href="#">frontpage</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">frontpage</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">frontpage</a></li>
    </ul>         
</div               

<div id="sub_main">

<?php
     include('/content/products'.$_GET['#'].'.php');
?>

</div>

I dont know how to link to the new files so they will be included while the first include still stays on the page.

Any of you know how and if this can be done? Or maybe at better way to do it?

Hope this made sense, my first PHP question

Thanks

CanI put one INCLUDE statement INSIDE of another INCLUDE statement?

does anyone know how to decode this XML variable value into string values? I also need to know the oposite way: creating variable values into xml. I've tried several code examples but they did filter the requested data.

Code: [Select]

When I put this above all else in my document and test it offline, all I see is code in the browser. But when I test it on my web server, I can view the markup and whatnot.

Does anyone know why this is?

Hi. I have some code which needs to return a single variable from the function and stored as a variable within this page, so it can be echoed later on in the page. I couldn't get it to return as a variable, so i used "return compact();" to return the variable and "extract (myFunction());" to extract it to variables. However, when I turned on php's display errors and error reporting function, I got an error message saying "Warning: extract() [function.extract]: First argument should be an array in /my/web/site/index.php on line 6" (which is where my extract function is). This works fine with passing more than one variables through, is there another way pass one variable from a function to be stored as a variable on the page which called the function?

Here is the function:
Code: [Select]
<?php
//This is a list of numeric error codes against their text. this will return the error code as the variable $issue
function checkLoginIssue() {

//If there is an error code
if (isset($_GET["issue"])) {
 
  //cycle through the list until the code is reached, return the text and break the switch
    switch ($_GET["issue"]) {

      case "1":
              $issue = '<p class="warning">Please log in to view this page</p>';
              break;
  
      case "2":
              $issue = '<p class="warning">Wrong Username or Password</p>';
              break;

        case "3":
              $issue = '<p class="warning">No user found with those details</p>';
              break;

    }
 
 //return the variable in an array with a single value
 return compact('issue');
 
}
 
}
?>
And here is the code which calls the function:
Code: [Select]
<?php
extract(checkLoginIssue());
?>

Hi, I'm not really a php user however I'm having a dabble.

I'm trying to display an include file such as

<?php include("sponsor.php"); ?>

However I'm trying to make it a bit more advanced by selecting the month so what I'm after doing is displaying

<?php include("sponsor-october.php"); ?>

The idea being that this updates by itself, I understand that

<?php echo date("F"); ?>

will display the month, it's just combining the two where I get lost, any help would be welcome ta.

I have an include file and a php file in different directories and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong trying to get them to relate to one another.

webhost/website/includes/include.inc

webhost/website/modules/module/page.php

How do I get the page.php to use the include.inc file?

I'd think it would be "../../include.inc", but that isn't working

Hi,

is there any way to clear the included  file in php? for example,

if i included a file like , include "file.php"; after using the functions in this file finally i want to exclude from the list.

I have a script that is going to be on several urls.  There is a master site that will have certain information that will need to be present on all urls that host this script.  I am planning on using RSS to do this.  What is a good method to dynamically create the xml file for the master site so that the feed can be broadcast to the other urls?  Thanks in advance for the input.

Okay if I use an include to include a login script the login button doesn't work at all but it works on the page itself just not on the include

http://store.crytell.com/

when I attempt to login nothing happens Im sure I have the script dir right

Hi

I have recently moved hosting providers;

I have a php include on my website, which feeds latest posts from my forums to my homepage.

The code I use is        <?php include ('../mb/getposts/posts.php?id=80')?>

Now, this code used to work on my old host, but no longer works on my new host, giving an error of

Code: [Select]
Warning: include(../mb/getposts/posts.php?id=80) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/site/public_html/folder/page.php on line 41

Warning: include(../mb/getposts/posts.php?id=80) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/site/public_html/folder/page.php on line 41

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '../mb/getposts/posts.php?id=80' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/site/public_html/folder/page.php on line 41
I can also include the script as   <?php include ('../mb/getposts/posts.php')?> and when I do this the script works as it should do, but showing the default option.

The ?id=xx bit allows me to choose what forum id I want the posts to be shown on my homepage as  I have lots of individual homepages (long story) and to try and keep files small, I decided to wrap the latest posts php file into something where i could use one file for all the forums IDs that I need to show

Does anyone know why this will not work?  I am thinking it's a problem with the php config of my new server, and have asked my hosts, but they are telling me that this is out of their scope of support..  Any ideas would be appreciated

Hi,

I'm so new to PHP.

/menu/menulist/list

in "list" folder that is where I want to include head.php

any advise on how tot solve this problem of mine?

I am creating several files with the same connection information.  I already REQUIRE_ONCE my connection data that has all the 'secret entry data', but am wondering, if this is my current code in the top of the files:


$con = require_once('connection.php');
 if (!$con)
   {
   die('Could not connect!' . mysql_error());
   }
 
mysql_select_db("$database") or die('Choose a database  ' . mysql_error());

And then a $query/$result

Can the lines BEFORE the $query go into an INCLUDE file ALSO if they are going to be constant and repeated, or do they have to be hardcoded into each file individually?

Hello,
I created a script at my server, but would like to upload files to my other server. The website runs on server 1 and the upload form on server 2. I want to include the file of server 2 at the page at server 1; I've tried:
include("http://ipaddress/upload.php");
Sadly, this doesn't work. I get the error:
Quote

URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in

Is there another way to do it? Or should I change the php.ini and allow this (why isn't it allowed by default? What are the risks?).

iFrames aren't what I need here.

Thanks,
NLCJ

I have to store my Authorize.net Payment Gateway values somewhere safe.  (i.e. Outside of the Web Root)

I tried this code but my checkout page that formerly worked with local values in Test Mode is crashing.   

         // Include Authorize.net Values.
         require_once('/var/www/vhosts/MyWebsite.com/private/auth_config.php');

I think the issue is that private maybe can't be read or included by other files?

Would using another Linux directory solve my problem?
