a PHP pre-processor? FCKEditor related

[jsims281forum]

I'm currently having trouble with a CMS I'm putting together.

 

I'm using FCKEditor to enable users to edit web pages on the site, which works as intended on most pages. However the editor doesn't "follow" php includes on the pages it loads, and thus misses all the data that are in the includes.

 

What I think I need to do is pre-process the PHP (PHPP?!) into a temp file or some other temporary storage so that the file loaded by FCKEditor contains all the information your browser would see if it loaded the page.

 

If anyone could point me in the direction of how I might be able to achieve this I would be really appreciative!

can you post some code? why can't you join the tables and edit the respective data?

 

Also, look at using replacements for the php tags such as:

<?php  or  ?>

 

php = "Hypertext Preprocessor" and the PHP scripts will be compiled at runtime by the PHP engine

Hi, yeah it seems quite wierd to want to do this, however, maybe I should have explained myself a bit better. Yes, PHP scripts normally get processed at run time. What I'm after is a way to process them manually, before run time.

 

Say I have a file called index.php and it contains an include e.g.

 

<div id="content">
  	<?php include("subpage/pagecontents/content_index.php");?>
</div>

 

If I load this index.php into FCKEditor (a simple wysiwyg file editor), I get that exact file. What I want FCKEditor to load is the index.php but *with* all the include data, e.g.

 

<div id="content">
   <h1>Heading One</h1> 
   <h2>Sub Title</h2> 
   <p>Somepage content</p>
</div>

 

Thanks for the reply, hope this helps to explain what I mean  .
