[How To] Include PHP files into your phpBB3 Template

[shelliwood]

I've got a random quote php script which I want to add to the template header - I have parse php turned on in the ACP and can get plain html files with php extentions to show but it won't show the quote script.

I've added this to my template

Code: Select all

<!-- PHPINCLUDE ../../../../quotes/display.php -->

And it's still not showing tho that does show up in the source. Any ideas or suggestions what to try next?

I got it - The directory depth didn't need to be that deep for me even tho it was added to my subsilver based style - it only needed to be ../quotes/display.php to work

Ok Thanks for this topic folks: I have it sorted

What I have in my overall_header.php

This requires the file to be in the phpbb3 root folder.

Code: Select all

<!-- PHP --> include("test_include.php"); <!-- ENDPHP -->

To access a file in the style folder where the overall_header is; (My style name is 'pec')

Code: Select all

<!-- PHP --> include("/styles/pec/template/test_include.php"); <!-- ENDPHP -->

My phpbb3 folder is in root of my domain so to access a file so to access a file in the root of my domain

Code: Select all

<!-- PHP --> include("../test_include.php"); <!-- ENDPHP -->

Hope this helps

            $row["username"] .
            "</td><td><font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\"><font color=\"#C0C0C0\">" .
            date('F j, Y, g:i a', $row["post_time"]) .
            "</td></tr></font>";
            }
            print "</table></marquee>";
            mysql_free_result($result);
            mysql_close($link);
            ?>
