[SOLVED] Include Problems

killfall · July 28, 2008

Im fairly new to Programming and have only been using PHP for a year or so. I have made a website with includes and a SQL database to do all the work. The site consists of one main page with includes based on .php?p=page so the site gets the variable and searches the database for it, then loads the write include and color set. But im having a problem as one of the included page needs to get another variable from the URL so its .php?p=page&guid=guid but the included code is parsed before being included so the variable is missed. And I dont know what to do.

synking · July 28, 2008

I don't know if this will help but try a require on the second include instead.

killfall · July 29, 2008

Well I've tried using that and still no joy. The included code for some reason doesn't pick up any variables from the rest of the document or the URL and just ignores them. I also have the problem of the included pages not using the SQL connection and coming up sayin incorrect username and password.

sounds like you're including the page out of order. Include the page with errors after you include your db connect stuff.

killfall · July 29, 2008

I have, The database connect is the first thing in the file. And it also gets the URL variable and sets it as a variable. But when the included file calls it nothing happens.

can you show your code

echo out $header_content, and see if it is what u expect

killfall · July 29, 2008

What do you mean?

DeanWhitehouse · July 29, 2008

echo out $header_content and see if it contains what it should

killfall · July 29, 2008

well the header content is for if i have any pages that needs stuff put in the header the SQL database tells it that it needs to include the header content. For like javascript and stuff. And on all pages it should say no header content in the database anyway, so It shouldnt make a difference.

DeanWhitehouse · July 29, 2008

can u just echo it out and tell us what it says

killfall · July 29, 2008

nothing, its blank

DeanWhitehouse · July 29, 2008

then theres your problem , there is nothing in the include, so it won't include anything

killfall · July 29, 2008

thats not my problem, if you look down near the bottom it says include $content, that content is a .php file which contains

<? echo $guid ?>

that is set near the top of th code, but nothing comes up

PFMaBiSmAd · July 29, 2008

If you are including files through the file system, GET parameters on the end of the file name have no effect (like it states in the include section of the php manual.) You would need to setup the correct $_GET['xxx'] variables before the include() statement if you want them to be available to the included code.

If you are including files using a URL, then it should work as is.

Give an example of your include() statement.

synking · July 29, 2008

if i see right unless the guid is set in some other script guid is empty. what should the guid have.

samshel · July 29, 2008

you are trying to include a URL ? if yes..then it will include the HTML which is displayed by that URL and not the actual PHP code in it..

Is this file on the same server as yours ? if yes, try using absolute path and not URL. if no, then it wont allow you to use PHP code.

samshel · July 29, 2008

if you want to use the HTML of the URL included and pass guid there try this.

$guid = ($_GET[guid]) ;
//Header Content
if($header_include == 'y') {
   $header_content = 'http://web.kaedo-online.net/pages/'.$content_id.'_header.php?guid='.$guid;
} else {

killfall · July 29, 2008

Well the code in the included file is

<? echo $guid ?>

And the variable $guid is set in the header as $guid = $_get[guid]

But nothing is coming up

killfall · July 29, 2008

I have tried making a test page and am still having the same problem with that.

The test page (http://web.kaedo-online.net/test.php)

 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<? $guid = 'test';
include 'http://web.kaedo-online.net/pages/r2d2.php'
?>
</body>
</html>

Then the included code (http://web.kaedo-online.net/pages/r2d2.php)

<? 
echo $guid;
?>

And the test page comes up blank

DeanWhitehouse · July 29, 2008

that means that on the page u included , the varaible is being set to empty

killfall · July 29, 2008

So why is it doing that, because I set the variable to 'test' just before the include?

DeanWhitehouse · July 29, 2008

as i just said,the page you are including , is reseting the var

killfall · July 29, 2008

So how do I avoid it doing that?
