Using includes
Good day,
Okay...time for a question that will show what I am...a newbie. I searched the site on this topic but didn't find a complete answer or one that met my circumstances. There were some answers going back to 2006 but isn't that eons ago in relation to PHP development and evolution of this CMS?
If I want to create a php include for a div in the banner of a theme I am editing, what is the procedure? I tried the following and received an error that listed for 1500+ lines in html.
<?php include('includes/dl-logo.inc') ?>
.....
</div>
Thanks for taking the time to read this and have a Great day.

I guess that you need to go through the template engine, you can't just include php in thtml files as it won't be executed.
Perhaps add a new template variable:
{mycode}
</div>
Then find where that template is called and set the new variable:
include('includes/dl-logo.inc'); // this include file should provide a new function: getmycode()
$template->set_var('mycode', getmycode());
Hope this helps.

Hi,
You can put php in template (but we can live without). Maybe the error was a path issue?
You must give the full path to your file dl-logo.inc

I had no idea you could do that

Perhaps it could something like this, so:

include $_CONF['site_url'] . "pathto/dl-logo.inc";Rouslan

cordiste, you were exactly right with the requirement of a full path to the include, from the root right to the end of the filename. The relative path I was trying was generating a path issue error similar to what you shared.

Yes... you can see the code in lib-common.php
Text Formatted Code
// The following lines allow users to embed PHP in their templates. This
// is almost a contradition to the reasons for using templates but this may
// prove useful at times ...
// Don't use PHP in templates if you can live without it!
$tmp = $header->finish($header->parse('index_header', 'header'));
$xml_declaration = '';
if ( get_cfg_var('short_open_tag') == '1' )
{
if ( preg_match( '/(<\?xml[^>]*>)(.*)/s', $tmp, $match ) )
{
$xml_declaration = $match[1] . LB;
$tmp = $match[2];
}
}
ob_start();
eval( '?>' . $tmp );
$retval = $xml_declaration . ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $retval;
