Execute another php file

[MasterACE14]

Is their a way to execute another PHP file from a PHP file? for example, say I want to check if a User's Authority level is equal to 3, by using a If statement, and if the User's Authority level is equal to 3, execute another PHP file which executes a function within the file.

 

How can I do this? if it is at all possible?

 

(your probably wondering why I want to know how to do this, lets just say PayPal isnt very flexible)

include() or require();

if($user_authority == 3){

        include('file1.php');

}else{

      include('file2.php');

}

I think I get what you mean, you could include or require a file and have a function in it to check the user's authority level...

 

<?php
include("function.php");
if(userAuthorized())
{
...

I'm also having a php problem responding to Pay Pal IPN notifications. I have php script that gets the IPN information and I can put it on/in the Thank You for Buying Something page just fine.

 

In my case, I need for that page to also send the buyer some information (registration key, etc) after I have processed the returned IPN variables.

 

I have a php script that will send the required email to the customer from my server. That works fine by itself. But when I try to integrate it with the first script, it won't send the emails and gives me an empty array() error.

 

Does anyone know how to get such a setup to work properly? I see websites that do it all the time, but I'm at a loss for how, and not all that experience with php to beign with.

 

Any pointers would be great.

 

Thanks Robert
