[SOLVED] Help with putting a php script inside another php script...

[DBookatay]

I am in the middle of revamping my current site, add have a question about putting a current script into an existing php script...

Heres what I mean:

 

The current script:

<?php
for($x=0; $x<count($features);$x++) {
	if($x%2==0){
		echo"
		<table width=\"100%\">
		<tr>
		";
	}

	echo "<td class=\"vehFtrs\"><img src=\"images/Common/KBB/bulletOn.gif\" /> {$features[$x]}</td>";
	if($x%2==1){
		echo "</tr></table>";
	} 
}
if($x%2==1) {
	echo "<td> </td></tr></table>";
}
?>

 

What I am trying to now do is relocate it into this script:

<?
if ($kbbPrice) {
	$kbb = '
		<div align="center">
		<table>
			<tr><td><img src="images/Common/KBB/hdrL.gif" width="9" height="73" /><a href="http://www.kbb.com/KBB/UsedCars/'.$kbbValue.'" target="_blank"><img src="images/Common/KBB/hdrM.gif" width="153" height="73" /></a><img src="images/Common/KBB/hdrR.gif" width="204" height="73" /></td></tr>
			<tr><td class="ContHldr" align="center"><img src="images/Common/KBB/hdr01.gif" /></td></tr>
		</table>
		<table class="KBB2" width="345">
			<tr>
				<td>
					<div id="KBB1">
					<table>
						<tr class="KBB2"><td class="txt2" colspan="3">Selected Equipment</td></tr>
						<tr><td height="30" width="345" colspan="3"><b>Standard</b></td></tr>
						************ INSERT NEW CODE HERE ************
					</table>
					</div>
					<div id="KBB2" align="left">* Connecticut '.$today.'</div>
				</td>
			</tr>
			<tr><td><img src="images/Default/Titles/btm365.gif" /></td></tr>
		</table>
	</div><p>';}
?>

 

How can this be done?

you can use a require to pull the second script into the first script. I use a similar technique to add functionality and keep things simple.

<?php
if(1==1){
    require_once("filename.php");
}
?>

 

The if statement isn't necessary, I typically use a switch statement to decide what files to include.

Im not sure, your code will work on all browsers. Because, you are placing the data generated by the first file (<table>...</table>) into the second file after </tr>. so, in most of the browsers the data will not be shown if they are placed in non-data area. It should be placed after the table closed or between <td></td> tags.

The html code isnt complete, so ignore that.

I didnt bother to check it, wanted to wait till I finished everything..

 

Do you have any ideas for the php question I posed? I would really rather not use an include file

Try this:

======

 

<?php

 

 

if ($kbbPrice) {

 

$features_list = "";

 

for($x=0; $x<count($features);$x++) {

if($x%2==0){

$features_list .= "

<table width=\"100%\">

<tr>

";

}

 

$features_list .= "<td class=\"vehFtrs\"><img src=\"images/Common/KBB/bulletOn.gif\" /> {$features[$x]}</td>";

if($x%2==1){

$features_list .= "</tr></table>";

}

}

if($x%2==1) {

$features_list .= "<td> </td></tr></table>";

}

 

 

 

$kbb = '

<div align="center">

<table>

<tr><td><img src="images/Common/KBB/hdrL.gif" width="9" height="73" /><a href="http://www.kbb.com/KBB/UsedCars/'.$kbbValue.'" target="_blank"><img src="images/Common/KBB/hdrM.gif" width="153" height="73" /></a><img src="images/Common/KBB/hdrR.gif" width="204" height="73" /></td></tr>

<tr><td class="ContHldr" align="center"><img src="images/Common/KBB/hdr01.gif" /></td></tr>

</table>

<table class="KBB2" width="345">

<tr>

<td>

<div id="KBB1">

<table>

<tr class="KBB2"><td class="txt2" colspan="3">Selected Equipment</td></tr>

<tr><td height="30" width="345" colspan="3"><b>Standard</b></td></tr>

 

' . $features_list . '

 

</table>

</div>

<div id="KBB2" align="left">* Connecticut '.$today.'</div>

</td>

</tr>

<tr><td><img src="images/Default/Titles/btm365.gif" /></td></tr>

</table>

</div><p>';}

 

?>
