can't include php in tpl

[rev]

Hi

 

In something.php (whmcs root) i have

<? echo "i love cookies" ?>

In header.tpl (templates/default) i have

{include_php file="../../something.php"}

Now on every page of whmcs i should have "i love cookies" on top but it's not so.

 

Why?

 

p.s. My templates_c is empty

Try giving the include_php statement the absolute path to something.php.

 

Not sure about the include _php command. But may require single quotes.

 

Also, probably just an oversight in your example. But requires a ; to end the php line.

Tried the following:

 

{include_php file="/var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/subdomains/clientarea/httpdocs/something.php";}

 

{include_php file='/var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/subdomains/clientarea/httpdocs/something.php';}

 

With no success

Remove the semi-colon from the include_php. Put it the in php statement.

 

Change this - <? echo "i love cookies" ?>

to this - <?php echo "i love cookies"; ?>

^ that should place an error in your log if it was the case.

 

I also have never got this to work either.

Try this:

{php} include('/path/to/include.php'); {/php}

Worked in every version so far.

I have found that as I struggle with Smarty the main problem for me is always the file path.
