Hi,

 

i am traped in a problem..

 

i have a code where i am echoing the html for different conditions. example..

if($i == 1) {
      $tbcontent .=  '<div>new content</div>'
} 
if($i == 2) {
     $tbcontent .= '<p>hello</p>';
} 
if($i == 3) {
    include('newhtml.php');
}

echo $tbcontent;

 

 

now here is the problem.

 

i am concatenating the tbcontent and echoing finally, it has to happen only in that way because all the condtions are in the loop and have to echo finally. now for the 3rd condition, the htmls are from an include file. its a very long html with embedded php. because of the include, the html document structure is change as it echoing befire i echo the tbcontent. another problem is, this iinclude has lot of variable in between like a junk, so if i put this all in a function, then i have to set all the variables as global where i am sure there will be alot of confusion. what i wanted is, i want this included html to be echoed while i echo the tbcontent in sequence.

 

please advise..

 

Thanks !

echo tbcontent before inclusion.

You could also look into output buffers:

 

  ob_start();
  include('file.php');
  $tbcontent .= ob_get_contents();
  ob_end_clean();

not actually working, am i making any wrong?

 

			while($result=mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
			$tab_name = ucfirst($result['tab_name']);
			$selected = '';
			if($result['selected'] == 1) {
				$selected = 'class="selected"';
			}
			if($result['type'] == 1) {
				$form = new form($result['table_name'], $result['fgroup_id'], $result['fgroup_name'], '{auto_insert:0, auto_responce:1}');
				$tcontent = '<div class="tabcontent" id="tab_'.$result['tab_id'].'">';
				$tcontent .= $form->print_form;
				$tcontent .= '</div>';
			}
			//echo $tcontent;
			if($result['integrate_uploader'] == 1) {
				$tcontent .= '<div class="tabcontent" id="tab_'.$result['tab_id'].'_uploader">';
				ob_start();
				include(INCLUDE_PATH.'function.uploader_form.inc.php');
				$tcontent .= ob_get_contents();
				ob_end_clean();
				$tcontent .= '</div>';
				//echo $tcontent;
			}
		}			

 

echoing tbcontent before including also wont work as, there is a dynamic menu that gets generated, so if i echo anything, it will change the complete document model. for now i have only one way, because of this there has to be 2 while loops, and thats working, but 2 while is not necessary if there is a solution to hold the html of included file inside a variable.

 

any suggestions are very much appreciated !!

 

Thanks !
