include files

cb154 · July 13, 2010

Hi I am having a real weird issue. I have a page that I want to do a conditional include in which is all working fine. However the included page ceases to work when included via a conditional variable

for example

if i do include 'myfile.php'

all works fine

if i assing myfile.php to $myfile then use

include $myfile

the included file stops working ? any thoughts.

Code please?

This should work, I've used that method for years with dynamic sites. Is it giving errors? Maybe the condition is never being set. Have you checked that... and yes code snippets for both ways you are doing this would be nice

so this is the assignment

<?php 

// assign the include depending on the option.

if (isset($_POST['add'])) {
 $include = 'acquisitioninfo.php';
}
else
if (isset($_POST['edit'])) {
$include = 'editsearchresults.php';
}
else
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$include = 'editsearchresults.php';
}
else{$include ='editsearchresults.php';}

?>

nothing untoward going on in there that I can see. I will also post the code from the include file as that is where the failure is happening. but the oddity is that if i just do it as a straight include .. then it works it only fails when I include via a variable

The error I am getting is that is is not performing the insert, the include file contains a form which one filled in and submitted will redirect the user.

Where's the most important line of code, the include statement?

this is the include file that is not working when included via a varable as opposed to a straight include 'myfile.php'

This should work, I've used that method for years with dynamic sites. Is it giving errors? Maybe the condition is never being set. Have you checked that... and yes code snippets for both ways you are doing this would be nice

The error I am getting is that is is not performing the insert, the include file contains a form which one filled in and submitted will redirect the user.

I see, thought you were doing something like this:

if($something==$somethinelse)
{
include("something.php");
}

You method should work, is it doing it just for that one include only? whats the include look like something like this? include($include); or include("$include"); let's take a peek at that, but if it's only doing it for one of the files... hmmm.

just include ($include); is what I am doing. it is just this include that doesn't work when performed in this way.
