PHP in my templates

How do I add PHP in my templates using textpattern ? I have this for example:

<?php require_once(“/home/wii/public_html/stats/counter.php”);?>

How do I convert the above, so it works in textpattern?

I´ve been looking at this: http://textpattern.com/faq/34/how-do-i-use-php-code

But can´t get it to work.

Thanks

Re: PHP in my templates

From the FAQ:

Make sure you use <txp:php> … </txp:php> instead of <?php ... ?> or <? ... ?>.

There is an Advanced Preference that can be used to disable PHP code.

Did you set this right in Admin > Preferences > Advanced? (somewhere under ‘Publish’: Allow PHP in pages?)

Re: PHP in my templates

I did set this right in Admin.

I´m trying for a simple PHP include, like this:

<txp:php>include(“/home/wii/public_html/stats/counter.php”)</txp:php>

But I get an error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/wii/public_html/beta/textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php(2681) : eval()’d code on line 1

Re: PHP in my templates

I get the same thing with the include and virtual functions using <txp:php>

Re: PHP in my templates

Does that mean that PHP includes are not possible within Textpattern ?

Re: PHP in my templates

Yes, they are most certainly possible. I haven’t had a problem with them at all.

So, if you run stats/counter.php directly, you don’t get any errors/warnings?

Re: PHP in my templates

Directly, yes, the include works on my current page, which is hardcoded.

Can you tell me exactly how your includes look like within textpattern ?

Thanks

Re: PHP in my templates

I can do either relative or absolute includes:

<txp:php>include('my-file.php');</txp:php>

<txp:php>include('/path/to/my-file.php');</txp:php>

Both work exactly the same for me. I’ve no problems with require, include_once or require_once either.

…the include works on my current page, which is hardcoded.

• Is there further PHP in that file?
• Do you have error reporting turned on?

Re: PHP in my templates

This works fine Mary, but why can´t I use this code in the articles themselves ? They only work in the template.

Thanks

Re: PHP in my templates

It’s likely Textile causing the problem. FAQ
