[RESOLVED] Include section of php file

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi

I want to be able to include a section of a php file, rather than the whole thing. I figured just use a function and call the external script in the head:

[code=php]

function writeMyName()
{
echo “Kai Jim Refsnes”;
}

[/code]

[code=html]

<script type=”text/php” src=”external.php”></script> // in the head

<?php writeMyName(); ?> // in the body

[/code]

Doesn’t seem to work. Saw some people using “text/javascript” for a php file, tried it, doesn’t work.

Any help?!

?

@StevishMar 16.2009 — Is <?php include('external.php'); ?> what you're looking for? if all you have in external.php is functions, then you could include the code anywhere.

@lardauthorMar 16.2009 — Thanks Stevish, but no! I've got one file that is going to dynamically create lots pages - specifically reviews. I need to insert sections of dynamic content in various places, rather than in one lump.

If I use "include" I have to have seperate files for each page and for each section - which is a lot of files, and not too convenient for editing.

@ryanlundMar 16.2009 — Ok i cant for the life of me work out what your second post was talking about but i think what stevish meant was something along the lines of

<i>
</i>&lt;?php

include("external.php");

writeMyName();
?&gt;


because you cant include a php file the same way as a javascript file. other than that i have no idea what you mean with the rest of it

@lardauthorMar 16.2009 — I think I've realised what I need to do - just use include but only have functions in the target file.
