Php include

[pixel97504 +]

I am trying to include an external web page from within my site. It's a store locator script that is for users to find riding clubs across the country.

I have tried creating a new page with page editor and inserted the following code (using the edit html source button)

<?php
include("http://findaridingbuddy.com/clubs/store_locator.php");
?>

This did not work and I just get a blank page... Does anyone have a method that would work for wrapping an external page into a page created in page editor?

Thanks for your help,
Paul

You can do this in Smarty but you need to use the include php syntax:
Smarty

{include_php file='/path/to/load_nav.php'}

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your fast reply. Can this code be inserted directly into the page using HTML source edit?
I am not having any luck having the page recognize the code. Just reads it as text

Here is the code I am inserting:
{include_php file='http://findaridingbuddy.com/clubs/store_locator.php'}

Here is the page I am inserting the code into:
horse clubs

Any ideas?
Thanks Paul

You need to use the server path not the url. For example: /home/user/httpdocs/path/to/file.php

I have updated the server path to: {include_php file='/home/findarid/public_html/clubs/store_locator.php'}

It still seems to see the code as a line of plain text and not code....

You cant insert code into a page created within the 68C admin. The reason being is that the content of those pages is stored in the database and presented to the client as text, its never parsed by the server.

Ah yes you can't do that from the content editor in admin. It has to be added to the actual template tpl file.
