spazmatic Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I'm new to php and i'm just making a simple site. I have the index.php with the site layout and menu and then the content in another php file. I am using this code in the content.php to display the layout. <?php // set file to read $content = 'index.php' ; // read file into string $data = file_get_contents($content) or die('Could not read file!'); // print contents echo $data; ?> The only problem is the content is displaying underneath the site layout. How can i get the content to display inside the layout? I tried placing the php code in different areas in content.php but i cant get the two to blend together. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/157159-basic-php-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken2k7 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Is there a difference between getting the data, then echoing and just including the file? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/157159-basic-php-problem/#findComment-828122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sKunKbad Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 It depends on what the included file is doing, and how you are "getting" the data. I think in your case you could just use: echo(file_get_contents('index.php')); or include 'index.php'; but this will show the contents of index.php exactly where you have put this in the code. So if you need this content in a specific spot, use this code there.

Ken2k7 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 echo-ing will also put the info where you put the line. So there's no difference. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/157159-basic-php-problem/#findComment-828139 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken2k7 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 You don't want that. You'll be messing up the HTML layout. You'll end up with 2 head tags and 2 body tags. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/157159-basic-php-problem/#findComment-828266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
