Taking PHP info from a file! Like a Template.

**JafferAB** · Dec 12th, 2002, 02:59 AM

Does anyone know how I would go about doing this ?? could I just something like <link... > statement? or does PHP code need something more sophisticated?

how also would i split up a vaible, so everytime it gets to a ; it writes what its written to an array, then carrys on readin until it gets to another value, e.g.

value of string: a;b;c;d;e

becomes

$pie[0] = a
$pie[1] = b
$pie[2] = c
$pie[3] = d
$pie[4] = e

thanks

cool thanks

took me a little bit fo a while to work out what it meant, but i got it in the end!

could have also used explode()

$pie = explode(";", $string);

if you didn't want to use preg_split

not sure what you mean by this, elaborate ?

elaboration : e.g. to gain the information from a CSS file, you may use this...

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="default.css">

this will use the code from default.css and use it in the webpage..

What I want to do, for example, is add this code, which is in pie.php for example...

Code:

<?PHP
 print "pie is good, pie is life";
?>

so that where the link to pie.php (other extensions, or whatever) prints in that space, "pie is good, pie is life".

Does this help ?

P.S. Tanks fo rthe previous help, i managed to get it all working sweet as a chestnut (a bit rough round the edges, but it ltimatele works

)

yes you can use the <link... tag just like regular html. but you have to do it in the same spot as well, in the header tag.

**JafferAB** · Dec 12th, 2002, 06:05 PM

ah right, so its gotta be set in a variable :-/ hmm, that could be a bit usefull i suppose!

cheers

**phpman** · Dec 12th, 2002, 06:40 PM

no it can't be set in a variable. I meant like regular html in between the head tags.

<html>
<head>
<link ..... >
</head>
<body>
<?php

php here

?>
</body>
</html>

that is the same as the header in php.

Use include('filename.dat');
or require('filename.dat');

It outputs the contents straight to the web browser it does not parse it.

umm yes it does.

I meant, unless the filename is .php (or whatever the quivilent is) it isn't.

But suppose depends on server setup.

Try using virtual($filename);

...

I dunno I'm clutchin at straws here.
