PHP Question

[SlammedMedia]

I currently have php includes in my page like the one below...

<?php include ("header.php"); ?>

and I'm getting the following error when building my template:

Template not saved: Your template currently contains raw PHP code using <? and ?> tags; you should instead use the special {php} or {phpcode} template functions for raw PHP code (see the software manual for details on these template functions)

How should it look written properly?

Thanks

Well, this isn't a problem with PHP. It's related to whatever you're using it with. Is this with CPanel or something similar? A software package using Smarty? Need more info.

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

Try this. I'm not 100% on it though. I don't know what template engine you're using.

Is this TGPX? Looks like it.

Smarty in the house.

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

This is correct, if you're using TGPX. Single quotes are preferred for this instance, so:

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

agree, nothing to do with php, can you write in detail what you were doing and maybe post some screens, providing that we can help you.

It's TGPX. Just confirmed it on ICQ. I had a hunch.

If you think about security, your code could cause issues though. I would write it this way:

if(!file_exists('header.php')) {die("ERROR MESSAGE HERE");}
include ('header.php');

Yeah, we addressed that through ICQ, and got rid of the includes, haha.

It's because you are trying to insert your PHP code into a smarty template. Read this: http://www.smarty.net/docsv2/en/language.function.php
