Need to require HTML file within PHP

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 30.2005

I need to require a file containing HTML code in my PHP file. Since ‘require_once’ requires PHP to be active, how do I turn PHP off so that my HTML will work correctly? I tried adding ?> at the start of the required HTML file, but this seems so crude. I’m sure there must be a better way to handle this.

Any help would be welcome. Thanks.

@SpectreReturnsDec 30.2005 — ....what are you talking about? Last time I checked, including or requiring files simplying ended the current block of php, injected them, and then restarted php, which is why all includes need to start with <?php and end correctly.

When a file is included, parsing drops out of PHP mode and into HTML mode at the beginning of the target file, and resumes again at the end. For this reason, any code inside the target file which should be executed as PHP code must be enclosed within valid PHP start and end tags.
