PHP in .tpl files

[SRobinson]

Hi there,

 

Im trying to include my own header in one of the header.tpl files

 

ive tried the code

 

{php} include ("/header.php"); {/php}

and

{php} <? include ("/header.php"); ?> {/php}

 

The first just dosent include the header page, whilst the second breaks it and dosent allow any of the code for the whole page to be displayed!

 

As you can see im trying to include the header.php file which is in the root (public_html) directory

 

Regards,

Scott

Just for clarification, is your WHMCS installation in your root "public_html" directory? Your "include" path is relative to your WHMCS directory.

[SRobinson]

Yup both header.php and WHMCS are in the root directory.

 

ive also tried copying header.php to the template folder and using

 

{php} include ("header.php"); {/php}

 

but no luck there!

Try:

{php}
  include('header.php');
{/php}

Hi,

 

I think you need the {literal} {/literal} tags?

 

Not a .tpl guru but think thats what you need

Nope, BAJI26 has it correct. {LITERAL} is for script code and things of that nature. {PHP} should work for an include, and I have it working properly on mine using single quoted like his example. The path should be relative to the root WHMCS install directory.

[Brett]

No, the path should be relative to your username.

 

It should be

{php}
  include('/home/username/whmcs/header.php');
{/php}

While that might be correct for traditional PHP includes, this is a special circumstance since it's using Smarty and works when called from the WHMCS root, not "user" doc root.

Try it?

[CanDoNetwork]

{php}

include('header.php');

{/php}

 

Does work, I just tried it. The path is relevant to the WHMCS root.

 

Now, My header.php file is one level up, any ideas on how to go up a level?

 

I tried:

 

{php}

include('./menuheader.php');

{/php}

 

but that (or similar variations) didn't work - is there a special code I need?

[BAJI26]

{php}

include('../header.php');

{/php}

[CanDoNetwork]

Works! Thank you.

Again, BAJI226 has it. "./" represents "this directory", while "../" means up one...."../../" means up two and so on.

You can use

{include_php file='/path/file.php'}
