Including another page

[nutt318]

I am not sure how to do this and would like some help on what would be the best way to accomplish this. Anyways my problem is that I have my site that works great and what not that runs off of a .css.  I also have a shopping cart system that pretty much has its own interface.

 

My questions is how would I include the shopping cart page/site within my current site. I just want my users to have the same look and feel with the shopping cart layed out the same way. I have tried messing with the shopping carts .css and its starting to look funny. BTW i am using a ZEN cart.

 

Can I use something like: index.php is the shopping carts

<?php
include "/cart/index.php";
?>

 

any help would be awesome.

yup, this works:

 

<?php
include('inc/index.php or w/e link is");
?>

I tried what you said and i get a bunch of the following

 

Warning: main() [function.main]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/.heavengaze/contentlit/new.mydomain.org/newsite/cart.php on line 34

 

line 34 is the include line.

i made an error!

 

its not:

<?php

include('inc/index.php or w/e link is");

?>

its

<?php

include('inc/index.php or w/e link is');

?>

 

if that doesnt work, i ono what problem is, lol

Post the actual include line you are using.  Sounds like you are going to a outside link?

I guess it would be an outside link, because it is another system. I have my header and sidebar that is on my other pages, I just want shopping cart system to have the sidebar and header just like all of the other pages. I thought there was a way to do this but I cant seem to figure it out.

 

The only other was I was trying to do it was to edit the css on the shopping cart site but it is a huge pain. Thanks.

 

<h1 class="title">Welcome to the Online Store </h1>
	    <div class="entry">
		  <p>
		  <?php
		  		include "http://www.mydomain.org/cart/index.php";
		  ?>

Is the shopping cart on a different domain? If so then, you're screwed... to be crude.

No modern servers would allow you to include a file from another domain. That is a major security risk. You need all the files stored on your own server if you want to use PHP include. However, you could look at iFrames, a very messy solution.

Try:

 

<?php
include "cart/index.php";
?>

[nutt318]

Nope, its on my domain just a different folder than the main site.

I have tried this and it doesnt load anything

 

<?php
include "../cart/index.php";
?>

 

When doing this I get a bunch of errors that show up on my page that, they are.

  <?php
		  		include "http://www.mydomain.org/cart/index.php";
		  ?>

Could you give us a brief diagram of your server tree layout?

[nutt318]

Mydomain.org

  -Cart (folder)along with other folders and files for the shopping cart

    -index.php

  -Site (folder)this is where all of my current pages are

    -index.php,

    -aboutus.php

    -contactus.php

      and so on.

 

Is this what you need?

[revraz]

If you are doing the include from site/index.php then try

 

include "../../cart/index.php";

 

Is that a Cart or cart (if linux, case matters)?

[nutt318]

I made sure that everything is case sensitive so that i know is fine but I tried what you said and now im getting the page not to load properly. It seems to only load a portion of the page because an image that is set in the css is not loading now. I can see my background and some text above where the include code is but nothing to do with the shopping cart.

Any other ideas?

 

Basically I have a Zen-Cart system installed in a folder called cart. I have my website in a folder called site. I want to be able to have the sidebar, header and footer around the shopping cart system on my site.

 

Would I need to do an include function on the index.php of the shopping cart site? I have tried doing an include on the index.php on the cart system but i just get errors.

 

Any ideas on how I can accomplish getting the shopping cart system within my normal site so users have the look and feel of the normal site but the shopping cart within it?

 

Thanks.
