php includes in tpl files

[netdominus]

I have searched in the forums, but can't find anything on this...

I would like to have a php include

Code: Select all

<?php include ('../ssi/quotes/rotate.php') ?>

in the index.tpl file, but if I add the code directly, the entire block disappears. I have tried creating a variable in the language file and adding it to the array declaration in the index.php file, but all that happens is that the code is dropped into the web-page, rather than being resolved.

I am sure this isn't such an unusual request - can anyone help?

Hi,

we supported this in phpMyFAQ 1.6 and we removed that for security reasons in 2.0.

You should add an template placeholder and set the PHP code for that in the PHP file.

I did try using a placeholder in the index.tpl file:

{msgQuote}

and put the following in the language file:

Code: Select all

$PMF_LANG["msgQuote"] = "<?php include ('../ssi/quotes/rotate.php') ?>";

and in the index.php:

Code: Select all

$main_template_vars = array(
...
'msgQuote'          => $PMF_LANG['msgQuote'],
...
}

but all that I get is the raw php code in the rendered page.

Are there guidance notes somewhere - sorry if this is obvious, but I'm a PHP newbie.
