breaking php code into modules

[dph987]

hi gang,

I just spent the better part of the day trying to find a way modularize my PHP code.

 

I want to execute a php file and load the results into my main php program.

 

I am not looking to include php source code into my prog and then execute it,

I want to execute it and load  the results into my prog.

 

I know  I can do this if I call a php file via apache: using file(http://ww.site.com/blah.php?parms)

but is there a way to do it without using http ? The php file is local - in the same directory.

 

I want something like this:

 

$r = something.php?parms...

 

how do I do this?

 

regards,

david

Kinda sounds like your fishing around for what is called the MVC pattern. This post.....

file('blah.php?parms')

$content = file_get_contents('somefile.php?param=blabla');

 

Should do the trick you're looking for

file('blah.php?parms')

 

Oeps, I posted this prematurely. Yes, this will only work through HTTP or CLI:

 

php blah.php params1 params2 params3

Building on ignace's post:

 

exec('blah.php data data2', $output);
//or
exec('blah.php --arg=data --arg2=data2', $output);

 

Then use $argc and $argv in blah.php to get values.

 

$output contains blah.php output.
