JetJagger Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Goal: I am trying to create a flat-file array that will allow me to edit any variable for an entire Website from one setup.php page. I create a file called 'setup.php' wherein the array looks like this: <?php $setup['1']='page file path or other variable'; $setup['2']='page file path or other variable'; $setup['3']='page file path or other variable'; ?> Then, I included this in the page HEAD where a variable needs to be changed: <?php require("setup.php"); ?> Problem: Where I'm getting lost is what to insert inside the page file in place of where I would usually hard-code the file or object reference, ESPECIALLY IF I WANT TO PULL-IN A PATH TO A FILE. When I use: <?php echo $setup['1'] ?> ....all I see in my webpage is "page file path or other variable" (without quotes), but what I NEED to see is the actual file that I would normally see would I have used a traditional standalone PHP include. In other words, my setup.php file is really just going to be a list of files to include. Hypothetically (though shown incorrectly here for demonstration purposes), I need an execution like this... <?php $setup['1']='<?php include("http://www.whatever01.php"); ?>'; $setup['2']='<?php include("http://www.whatever02.php"); ?>'; $setup['3']='<?php include("http://www.whatever03.php"); ?>'; ?> I can only hope I explained this correctly. Anyone's prompt assistance is greatly appreciated. -Jet- - Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/126717-i-need-serious-help-with-a-simple-flat-array-please/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
