Kolusion Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I am wanting HTML to render within a table and sourcing the data from another file. In an attempt to do this, I tried: <TABLE class="main"> <TR> <TD> <?php readfile('./1/index.html'); ?> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> This does not work and I am wondering if anyone knows how it can be done - or even if it can be done?

titan21 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Try this... <TABLE class="main"> <TR> <TD> <?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/1/index.html'); ?> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> You need to specify exactly where the file is located.

Kolusion Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 I assumed the target './1/index.html' would have specified the file location - where "." specifies !!<<from this directory>>!! I tried your code but it didn't work.

titan21 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Can you let us know the absolute path of your server root (i.e. where your index.htm file is located) and then the absolute path of the file you are trying to include. Hopefully, we'll be able to construct a correct line of code for you.

Kolusion Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Sure, The root path is: /var/www/test1.com/ The include\readfile path (the file I want being rendered into the table: /var/www/test1.com/products/1/index.html The HTML file in reference that holds the table called "main" we are talking about is: /var/www/test1.com/products/index.html Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/245272-displaying-content-inside-a-table-sourced-via-readfile/#findComment-1259755 Share on other sites More sharing options...

titan21 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Am a bit stumped! :-\ is it a permissions issue? Can you check that everyone has read access to this file? Have u tried calling the file directly into the browser? Is there anything in the logs which give a clue?

titan21 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 That's not it. PHP won't have a clue where it is in relation to the HTML. Did you check the logs and permissions?

Kolusion Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Here is something that enforces my original thought. <?php include('./1/index.html'); ?> When I put this code into its own .php file an run it, it works. So the code is valid. Now to the question, why won't it work inside a table?

titan21 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 If you're running apache then the logs should be at /var/log/apache/error.log. Is this your webserver or soemone elses?

Kolusion Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 No problem in error.log and access.log shows it didn't even try to fetch '/1/index.html'. <?php include('./1/index.html'); ?> .. is also showing up in the HTML source code via my browser.

titan21 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Try renaming the file index.php not index.html. You can keep the included file as index.html as long as there is no PHP to process in it - otherwise that will need renaming to index.php also!

codefossa Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 If you're tryin' to show the HTMl from the page, you need to require it, not include it. require("1/index.html"); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/245272-displaying-content-inside-a-table-sourced-via-readfile/#findComment-1259805 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolusion Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Hey dude, haha yeah the problems resolved now. What I actually did was allow .html files to be executed as PHP from httpd.conf (Apache) Thanks anyhow!
