Include

[skylab]

I'm trying to add an include inside regular text. I don't know why it doesn't work. It's ignoring the in_header.php even though I escaped the ' with a \

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

 

<?php

//MySQL Database Connect

 include 'bind.php';

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sql_test WHERE Name= 'TEST'");

while($result = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {

echo $result["Name"]. $result["Gender"]. 'TEXT TEXT TEXT <?php include \'inc_header.php\'?> Text Text Text';

}

?>

try this instead

 

require ('bind.php');

The problem is not with 'bind.php' that one works and I'm able to connect to sql and retrieve Name and Gender. But the <?php include 'inc_header.php'?>  is the file which is ignored. I tried your advice but it didn't work.

Your already within php tags, you don't need more. Also, includes don't need to be echoed.

 

 

echo $result["Name"] . $result["Gender"] . 'TEXT TEXT TEXT';
include 'inc_header.php';
echo 'Text Text Text';

That did it thanks a lot. That will save me a lot time and effort. Have a great week.
