Php include

I tried searching the forum for solution on this but couldn’t find any obvious answers (and yes, I have activated php-support in pages) so here it goes:

I’m trying to include a text from a php or text-file:

<txp:php>include 'http://www.domain.name/folder/title.php'; </txp:php>

The file “title.php” conatins the following:

Title

That didn’t work though.

I just want a quick and easy way to include a text from either a php or text-file on my server.

Re: Php include

Use the proper file path, not the URL.

E.g.

<txp:php>include ('/webroot/folder/title.php'); </txp:php>

Re: Php include

That did the trick!

I used the tab described by the team at Textpattern to get the path:

<txp:php>var_dump(getcwd(), get_include_path());</txp:php>

http://textpattern.com/faq/34/how-do-i-use-php-code

The only this was that when I used that snippet I got quite a lot of alternatives to choose from.
So I broke the script as:

<txp:php>get_include_path());</txp:php>

Which gave me an error, but also a reference to the php path.

Quite obvious, ‘cause there is a typo, extra ) at the ending…

Re: Php include

Isn’t that path information simply available from Txp’s Diagnostics tab?

Yep, is. And in config, database and so on. And it isn’t even required always (dots, slashes – we love them). We even got defined txpath etc.

And to add, if it’s only text file with out any PHP code, we shouldn’t/have to even use include. readfile, file_get_contents and other file functions are for that purpose.
