inlcude problem

[toolman]

Hi there,

 

I am trying to include a file in this line, but it doesn't seem to be working.

 

Any ideas what I have wrong?

 

$content .= '<div class="jobs-right">' include("sidebar.php") '</div>';

 

Thanks

That is invalid syntax. And I dont think you can concatenate included files.

[toolman]

I have also tried this. It includes the file, but not inside the <div>

 

$content .='<div class="jobs-right">';
        $content .= include("sidebar.php");
        $content .='</div>';

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Could you show the code for sidebar.php?

include doesn't return a string unless your included file has a return statement specifying so.

Hi

 

Sidebar.php just has some simple text in it, something like "test" - there is no PHP in that file.

 

Is there another way I can write it?

 

Thanks

You could change sidebar.php to sidebar.txt and use file_get_contents():
