[SOLVED] What to use instead of include?

[leomoon]

Hi, I was wondering is there any other way to have the same function as include?

My server recently disabled include so I can't use that anymore and they told me I can use fopen. I searched on the net but I don't seems to be able to make it work!!!

 

What I want to do is SO SIMPLE.

I just want to render a header inside the main php page.

What I had before was (to load a menu):

<?php include("http://leomoon.net/static/topmenu.html"); ?>

 

Tnx. Waiting for your reply.

if its a static page like the html you mentioned just use the following

 

print file_get_contents("http://leomoon.net/static/topmenu.html");

You should use require();

It will also rather than just printing out an error, stop execution of the script if the file that had to be included into the script does not exist, or if something is wrong.

Tnx for the print thingee, it works. Require does not work. It seems that require and include are the same except require stops rendering the rest when it sees an error.

 

Now for dynamic pages, is there anything like include?

You'd have to grab the contents as suggested above, but instead of printing it, you'll need to evaluate it

 

Personally, i'd find another host.

well just wrote this function not too sure it will work tho havn't got my server to test it let me know

 

function include_custom($strFilename)
{
$strContent = file_get_contents($strFilename);
eval($strContent);
return 1;
}
