call a script from outside a page

[geotri314]

hi guys. i have a question. so, i have created a php script that handles a form, in a self referenced .php file. part of the php code is the below :

 

<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$url = $_POST['url'];
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
if($name)
{
echo <<<END

<tt>You have just entered the following data:<br />
<table>
<tr><td><tt>Name:</td><td><tt>$name</td></tr>
<tr><td><tt>Link:</td><td><tt>$url</td></tr>
<tr><td><tt>Username:</td><td><tt>$username</td></tr>
<tr><td><tt>Password:</td><td><tt>$password</td></tr>
</table>
<br />

END;


$dbc = mysqli_connect('localhost', '49713', '59725972', '49713') or die('skata... ');
$query = "INSERT INTO forums (url, name, username, password) VALUES ('$url', '$name', '$username', '$password')";
$result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query) or die ('pali skata... ');
mysqli_close($dbc);
}

echo <<<END
<hr /><br />\n
<table width="95%" rules="all">\n
<tr><td><tt><b>Name</td><td><tt><b>URL</td><td><tt><b>Username</td><td><tt><b>Password</td></tr>\n
END;

$dbc = mysqli_connect('localhost', '49713', '59725972', '49713') or die ('Could connect to the sql db');
$query = "SELECT * FROM forums";
$result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query) or die('something went wrong with the query');
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
	echo "<tr>\n<td><tt><a href=\"" . $row['url'] . "\" target=\"_blank\"><tt>" . $row['name'] . "</tt></td>\n<td><tt><a href=\"" . $row['url'] .              	"\" target=\"_blank\"><tt>" . $row['url'] . "</tt></td>\n<td><tt>" . $row['username'] . "</tt></td>\n<td><tt>" . $row['password'] . 
			"</tt></td>\n</tr>\n";
}

?>

 

i wonder if there is a way, to keep the <?php ... ?> code on a different file and i call it whenever i want with the exact the same results. i dont know if i am making clear what i want, but i d like somehow, to have a way, to call this code and attach it to the page, whereas the code is stores on another file of its own, but without loading a different .php page so as to keep being self referenced. sorry for bothering you. can anyone help?

You should wrap it in a function.
