Question about a get file.

[11Tami]

Hello, is there a way to include more than one web site file with PHP? For example:

 

<?php

$includefile = "file" . ".txt";

include ($includefile);

?>

 

Includes a web site file named file.txt into a page. I know if I wanted to include an image it would be

 

$includefile = "file" . ".jpg";

include ($includefile);

 

etc.

 

But is there a way to include both in one? I'm getting kind of tired of using separate scripts for each one. Some sort of code that will allow you to add both an image type and a file type, both in the same script?

 

Please let me know if you know something that might work or if you have bumped into anything somewhere. Thanks a lot.

You could use an array like so:

 

//declare the array and add as many files as you want
$files=array("file1.txt","file2.txt","image.jpg");
//count how many files there are in the array
$count=count($files);
//use a for loop to include them all
for ($n=0;$n<$count,$n++) {
include $files[$n];
}

 

Hope that helps

Thanks very much, nothing is appearing and I have these uploaded

file1.txt

file1.txt

file1.jpg

 

 

and the code I'm using:

<?php 
$files=array("file1.txt","file2.txt","file1.jpg");
$count=count($files);
for ($n=0;$n<$count,$n++
{include $files[$n];}
?>

 

The code seems to want something more that it doesn't have...anyone know?

what does this give you?

 

<?php 
ini_set('error_reporting', 8191);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

$files=array("file1.txt","file2.txt","file1.jpg");

$count=count($files);

for ($n=0; $n < $count; $n++{
    include($files[$n]);
}
?>

Thanks that tool worked great. It is including each file in the array at the same time, instead of a different one in the array on each separate page load. Also the error I get says it won't include an image file along with the rest. Anyone know of a way that an image file can be included along with a .txt file? Thank you very much.

 

<?php 
ini_set('error_reporting', 8191);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
$files=array("file1.txt","file2.txt","file1.jpg");
$count=count($files);
for ($n=0; $n < $count; $n++){
    include($files[$n]);
}
?>

[benjaminbeazy]

try this...

 

<?php 
ini_set('error_reporting', 8191);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

$files=array("file1.txt","file2.txt","file1.jpg");

$count=count($files);

for ($n=0; $n < $count; $n++{
    $parts = explode(".", $files[$n]);
    $ext = array_pop($parts);
    switch ($ext){
      case "jpg":
        echo "<img src=\"{$files[$n]}\">";
        break;
      default:
        include($files[$n]);
        break;
    }
}
?>

do you want it to include just one file each time??? if so, just use a array_rand and pull out $files[0] for the include

Thank you, no problem, I can figure out how to get them one at a time later, right now I just need to get the images included.

 

This is where I'm at, I moved the $n++ to another line, it didn't want it earlier. Now its saying it doesn't like the $ sign past this ?> But there is no $ anywhere past this ?>.

So there is something else wrong but the errors aren't telling me where to look for it. Anyone see why this code isn't activating at all? Thanks.

 

<?php  
ini_set('error_reporting', 8191);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
$files=array("file1.txt","file2.txt","file1.jpg");
$count=count($files);
for ($n=0; $n < $count;){
$n++;
    $parts = explode(".", $files[$n]);
    $ext = array_pop($parts);
    switch ($ext){
      case "jpg":
        echo "<img src=\"{$files[$n]}\">";
        break;
      default:
        include($files[$n]);
        break;
?>

i think you were missing a brace or two, but oh well, i changed it already to a foreach loop before i saw that so here, use this...

 

<?php  
ini_set('error_reporting', 8191);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
$files=array("file1.txt","file2.txt","file1.jpg");
$count=count($files);
foreach($files as $var => $val){
    $parts = explode(".", $val);
    $ext = array_pop($parts);
    switch ($ext){
      case "jpg":
        echo "<img src=\"{$val}\">";
        break;
      default:
        include($val);
        break;
    }
}
?>

Great, I'll send you something. I'll see if I can pick each item on its own now.
