PHP help please...

[Jace]

I want to include main_content.php in this...it is from oscommerce, the includes/language/english/index.php file...how can I set a php as an include in this, it is not letting me

the <?php include("main_content.php"); ?> is what I am trying to include...do I have to have a different code when I am already on a php page? like an echo or something?

define('TEXT_MAIN', '' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'default/greeting.jpg') . '<hr width="375" size="1" color="#000000"><br><?php include("main_content.php"); ?>');

Your include statement is correct. But without seeing the start of your code, it's tough to see where you're going wrong.

here is the entire page

it doesn't look like your include is wrong. Either some code before it is incorrect or some code on the php page you are trying to include is fucked.

[Jace]

and it is just showing up like this

http://www.ecstasyglass.com/

and I need this http://www.ecstasyglass.com/main_content.php to be included in the part I have added it to in the code

[Azlord]

Hey Jace...
I don't see where this is outputting anything. It looks like this is just defining shit. I don't know forsure though.
What I would do is add the include after the end of the if() loop.

Your code:
define('TEXT_MAIN', '' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'default/greeting.jpg') . '<hr width="375" size="1" color="#000000"><br><?php include("main_content.php"); ?>');

Try this instead:
define('TEXT_MAIN', '' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'default/greeting.jpg') . '<hr width="375" size="1" color="#000000"><br>'.include("main_content.php")) ;

[Serge Litehead]

you can't have "<?php" tags nested within each other.

the include() function should be applied the same way as tep_image() there with concatenation periods around it .include().

simple example:
$var = "Hi my name " . get_name() . " whats up?";
or
$var = "Hi my name " . get_name();

[Azlord]

yah getting rid of the <?php
may help since it's already in a <? tag from the top

[Jace]

trying now

ok, so it should be

. tep_include('main_content.php') .

?

no, sorry for the confusion, here is the correct line:
define('TEXT_MAIN', '' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'default/greeting.jpg') . '<hr width="375" size="1" color="#000000"><br>'.include("main_content.php")) ;

[Jace]

Your code:
define('TEXT_MAIN', '' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'default/greeting.jpg') . '<hr width="375" size="1" color="#000000"><br><?php include("main_content.php"); ?>');

Try this instead:
define('TEXT_MAIN', '' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'default/greeting.jpg') . '<hr width="375" size="1" color="#000000"><br>'.include("main_content.php")) ;

all that did was make the entire www.ecstasyglass.com show up as the main_content.php

[Serge Litehead]

where do you want include main_content.php, as part of define('TEXT_MAIN' ... ?

[Serge Litehead]

does main_content.php have any print or echo functions in there?

[Jace]

does main_content.php have any print or echo functions in there?

nope, it is straight html

[Jace]

i just basically want that index.php page to call main_content.php and it show up in the text_main
