 Posted: Sun Mar 11, 2012 9:32 am Post subject: How to include an external file? |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm using Smarty for my website and I would like to include into my webpage an external "header.php" file.
For example, I've a "/mytemplate/general.php" file from my website number 1 and I would like to include inside an external file located here "http://www.website2.com/header.php".
I tried different things like the use of the {include} tag but it doesn't work.
Can you help me please?
Thank you.
Tom |

PHP code should not be included directly in templates and correspondig functionallity has been derepated and removed from the standard Smarty 3 class.
Write a plugin http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/plugins.functions.tpl or execute the PHP code in your script and assign the result to a template variable. |

you could use output buffering in the php code like:
| Code: |
ob_start();
file_get_contents('http://www.website2.com/header.php');
$header = ob_get_clean();
$smarty->assign('header', $header);
|
Or you could put that code in a plugin, if you want.
http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/plugins.functions.tpl
See:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.ob-get-clean.php
http://php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php
note from that page:
"A URL can be used as a filename with this function if the fopen wrappers have been enabled. See fopen() for more details on how to specify the filename. See the Supported Protocols and Wrappers for links to information about what abilities the various wrappers have, notes on their usage, and information on any predefined variables they may provide."
In general I don't like to get content like this from another site in this way though, as it slows your site down and means that if one site goes down, it messes up another site. If you do it, it would be a good idea to cache the content for a long time. But, your call. |
