Simple includes

[rik72]

Having issues including my file in the right place using templates..

 

<?PHP

require("includes/inc.config.php");
require("includes/inc.classes.php");
require("includes/inc.functions.php");

$template['main'] = load_template("main");
$template['main'] = str_replace("{{COLUMN_LEFT}}", load_column(1), $template['main']);
$template['main'] = str_replace("{{COLUMN_RIGHT}}", load_column(2), $template['main']);
$template['main'] = str_replace("{{COLUMN_MIDDLE}}", INCLUDE GOES HERE, $template['main']);
echo $template['main'];
?>

 

Here is what i want to include

include("login/login.php");

 

Here is where..

$template['main'] = str_replace("{{COLUMN_MIDDLE}}", INCLUDE GOES HERE, $template['main']);

 

but when i do it using logic, it includes at the top of the page.

You'll might need to save the output of the include into a variable.

 

<?php

ob_start();
include "login/login.php";
$login = ob_get_flush();

require "includes/inc.config.php";
require "includes/inc.classes.php";
require "includes/inc.functions.php";

$template['main'] = load_template("main");
$template['main'] = str_replace("{{COLUMN_LEFT}}", load_column(1), $template['main']);
$template['main'] = str_replace("{{COLUMN_RIGHT}}", load_column(2), $template['main']);
$template['main'] = str_replace("{{COLUMN_MIDDLE}}", $login, $template['main']);
echo $template['main'];

?>

That works, although it repeats it at the top, so i have two instances of login.php on the page..

Does anybody know how to fix this so that it includes the file only once, i can see the solution coming from what thorpe has put, but i cant put my finger to why it is repeating the include.

Sorry, my fault, use...

 

<?php

ob_start();
include "login/login.php";
$login = ob_get_contents();
ob_clean();

 

instead.
