How Do I Insert File Contents into Response?

[disturbed99]

I set up a Twilio number so a client could have a SMS keyword response setup... but I don't know how to get the contents of a file to be returned as the response. I am using the php functions..

I setup a system so that my client could change the responses to different keywords. Basicly it uses a webform to change the contents of a file which gets returned as a response.

What I need to know is how to read in the contents of the file into this function:

BTW... this works fine and will return "READ_FILE_CONTENTS_INTO_HERE"

function app(){
$response = new Services_Twilio_Twiml();
$response->sms("READ_FILE_CONTENTS_INTO_HERE");
echo $response;
}

I tried this but it stopped the script dead:

function app(){
$response = new Services_Twilio_Twiml();
$response->sms("<?php include 'file.txt'; ?>");
echo $response;
}

Any ideas?

Thanks

BTW... below is the entire php script:


<?php
/* Include twilio-php, the official Twilio PHP Helper Library,
* which can be found at
* http://www.twilio.com/docs/libraries
*/
include('Services/Twilio.php');
/* Controller: Match the keyword with the customized SMS reply. */
function index(){
$response = new Services_Twilio_Twiml();
$response->sms("Thank You For Contacting SweetLeafAZ.com - Reply with one of the following keywords:
APP = Make Appt, CS = Current Strains, DP = Delivery Prices, SP = Current Specials.");
echo $response;
}
function app(){
$response = new Services_Twilio_Twiml();
$response->sms("http://www.vcita.com/v/24067915901f2c7d/home");
echo $response;
}


function cs(){
$response = new Services_Twilio_Twiml();
$response->sms("http://mobile.dudamobile.com/site/sweetleafaz2");
echo $response;
}


function dp(){
$response = new Services_Twilio_Twiml();
$response->sms("As of Sept 26 2014, Our Delivery Rates are $2 per mile during the hours of 9am to 6pm. No deliveries will be made after 6pm.");
echo $response;
}

function sp(){
$response = new Services_Twilio_Twiml();
$response->sms("We are currently offering FREE delivery within 10 miles for orders over $100.");
echo $response;
}



/* Read the contents of the 'Body' field of the Request. */
$body = $_REQUEST['Body'];
/* Remove formatting from $body until it is just lowercase
characters without punctuation or spaces. */
$result = preg_replace("/[^A-Za-z0-9]/u", " ", $body);
$result = trim($result);
$result = strtolower($result);
/* Router: Match the ‘Body’ field with index of keywords */
switch ($result) {
case 'app’':
app();
break;
case 'cs':
cs();
break;
case 'dp':
dp();
break;
case 'sp':
sp();
break;
/* Optional: Add new routing logic above this line. */
default:
index();
}

Why have are you using PHP tags within a string?

 

One way to read the contents of a file is to use file_get_contents, example

$response->sms( file_get_conents('file.txt') );
