include file not working.

[finestice]

Hi peeps

 

iv been trying to figure out this but i cant see it....its probably obvious!!!

 

in the $header variable the include files dont show... any ideas

 

here the php code

<?
session_start();
?>
<link href="/styles/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<?

//get data
$button = $_GET['submit'];
$search = $_GET['search'];
$search = strtoupper($search);
$header = ("<table width='100%' border='0' height='80' cellpadding='4' bgcolor='#000000' >

if (!$s)
$s = 0;

$e = 10; // Just change to how many results you want per page

You have nested php tags.

<? include_once 'countertest.php'; ?>

[finestice]

how do i include the file iv removed the <? ?> tags but still doesnt show the date etc!!

[UQ13A]

how do i include the file iv removed the <? ?> tags but still doesnt show the date etc!!

 

I think swharrell means use the full open and close tags <?php ?>

dont know if the counteretest.php file is needed but it wont display 

 

in the include bit iv try incasing it in <?php ?> and <? ?> still dont dont... the header should look like this

 

http://stigros.com

[MatthewJ]

$header = "<table width='100%' border='0' height='80' cellpadding='4' bgcolor='#000000' >
  <tr>
    <td width='39%' height='76' valign='top'><p><span class='stigrosheadfont'><strong>www.StigRos.com</strong></span><strong><span class='headnocrap'><br />
    ( No Crap - Just Quality Movie & Music Downloads )</span></span><br />
    <a href='http://mysite' class='headerlinkcolor'>Home</a> | <a href='register.php' class='headerlinkcolor'>Register</a> | <a href='#' class='headerlinkcolor'>Contact us</a></strong></td>
    <td width='47%' valign='bottom'><p class='normalblacktext'>You are currently logged in, <b>" . $_SESSION['username'] . "</b></td>
    <td width='14%' valign='top'><div align='center'>
      <div align='center'><span class='headfont'><strong>Disclaimer</strong></span></div>
      <div align='center'>" . include_once('countertest.php') . " " . date('F d, Y') . "</div></td>
  </tr>
</table>";

 

Try replacing the $header chunk with this.

[samshel]

1) make sure countertest.php is in the same folder.

2) Print something at the top of countertest.php just after php tag to see if it is including

3) Write a test php file with only include statement for countertest.php to make sure that works

[MatthewJ]

I mean no offense, but if you look... he has opening and closing php tags within a string where he is trying to do the include... strangely enough, PHP tags don't work when they're within a string

[swharrell]

Set the countertest.php as a variable and then call the variable in the table:

<?
session_start();
?>
<link href="/styles/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<?

//get data
$button = $_GET['submit'];
$search = $_GET['search'];
$search = strtoupper($search);
$countertest = include_once 'countertest.php';
$header = ("<table width='100%' border='0' height='80' cellpadding='4' bgcolor='#000000' >
  <tr>
    <td width='39%' height='76' valign='top'><p><span class='stigrosheadfont'><strong>www.StigRos.com</strong></span><strong><span class='headnocrap'><br />
    ( No Crap - Just Quality Movie & Music Downloads )</span></span><br />
    <a href='http://mysite' class='headerlinkcolor'>Home</a> | <a href='register.php' class='headerlinkcolor'>Register</a> | <a href='#' class='headerlinkcolor'>Contact us</a></strong></td>
    <td width='47%' valign='bottom'><p class='normalblacktext'>You are currently logged in, <b>$_SESSION[username]</b></td>
    <td width='14%' valign='top'><div align='center'>
      <div align='center'><span class='headfont'><strong>Disclaimer</strong></span></div>
      <div align='center'>"
        . $countertest . 
        "</div></td>
  </tr>
</table>");...

 

If this doesn't work also do what samshel suggested.

 

[DavidAM]

include (and it's siblings) does NOT return the content of the file. It includes the file in the source code as if it was typed there. You cannot "include" inside a string. Assigning "include(filename.php)" to a string does NOT put the code from that file into the string, and it does NOT put any output from that file (i.e. echo, print, or stuff outside of php tags) in the string. Any code will be parsed and executed and any output will be outputted.

 

From the looks of the code you posted, you need to wrap the stuff inside countertest.php in a function, change the echo (at the end) to a return, include the file early in your script, and call the new function in the string assignment.

 

 

[samshel]

Try This:

 

<?
session_start();
?>
<link href="/styles/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<?

//get data
$button = $_GET['submit'];
$search = $_GET['search'];
$search = strtoupper($search);

$s = $_GET['s'];
if (!$s)
$s = 0;

$e = 10; // Just change to how many results you want per page


$next = $s + $e;
$prev = $s - $e;




if (strlen($search)<=2)
  echo "Must be greater then 3 chars $user";
else
{ 
$header = ("<table width='100%' border='0' height='80' cellpadding='4' bgcolor='#000000' >

[swharrell]

finestice. I may be wrong (wouldn't be the first time) but in the 10th line of your countertest.php file it appears you are asking if a file does not (!) exist, then open the file.

if(!file_exists($dataFile)) {
$fp = fopen($dataFile, "w+");
fclose($fp);
}

 

Edit: Sorry, my bad. Didn't see the w+. But that does bring up another question, is the file being created? Also, have you looked at the generated code to see if anything is being written from the includes?

 

[finestice]

the countertest.php works fine goto stigros.com to see the header

 

but when try to included it the search.php it shows ok but the search doesnt search properly just always says 'no result found' but if i remove the include file it works!!!!

 

cant figure it out 

[swharrell]

OK. Let's attack this from a different angle. When I look at the source of stigros.com the code below is what I (and the browser) see's.

        <br />
        <br />
        <input name="button" type="submit" class="blacktext" id="button" value="Send Now" />
      </div>

 

Several things about this are wrong any of which 'might' cause the issue. So, let's look at getting the generated html correct first and then if the problem still exist we can go from there knowing that is not the problem.

[finestice]

ummmm im dont think that would actually stop the search.php from not working...its like it kills the script after it gets to 'no search results found'

 

any idea if there is anything in the include file that would stop it...because if i remove it...it works!!!!

[swharrell]

Do you have a link to the actual search.php? I would like to see it's output.
