Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Programming Discussion : PHP Import HTML external file

[osphere]

Hi, I have a problem that I can't solve, I've searched in google, in php documentation and nothing...

I have a PHP page, and I need to import plain HTML code into the page that contains the PHP code.

The file that contains the HTML is located in the same folder...

Please someone know how to do this?

[RWJDCom]

Use somthing like...

$fd = fopen("file.html", r);
$content = fread($fd, filesize("file.html"));
fclose($fd);

echo $content;

Wherever you echo the $content your HTML file will be displayed. If you need further assistance feel free to PM me.

Thanks man, it works perfectly, Thanks!

Even simpler:

echo file_get_contents( "file.html" );

Why not this?

include('file.html');

or
require('file.html');
if the file is mandatory and you want the loading to die if it's not found...

This is like what I have ben looking to do, only is there a way to do this if there are meany html files, and diffrent names where you dont know the names?
odd ??? I know but if anyone could help

You can always use your include in a loop, with a variable.

Do something like open the directory and loop through all of the files. For each file, if they match a given string template, include that file.

Should be pretty simple.

no need for a loop...

PHP Code:

<?
if ((isset($_GET['p'])) && (isfile($_GET['p'].'.html'))) include($_GET['p'].'.html');
else include('default.html');
?>

you would call pages with index.php?p=mypage

I am a little new to php, could you explain how your code would work nnormal?
just looking at it, it looks like this still needs a file that you know the name of the file. also would this alow me to do this 10+ times in one page, and could I put this php script in a html page?

sorry for all the ????, like I said I am a little new to php. thanks

[TwistMyArm]

Absolutely. I just thought that atomicshockwave was talking about including multiple HTML files with unknown names into one PHP script.

[nnormal]

it wouldnt put multiple files in for that you may need a loop. are you trying to include each file from a directory or something?

PHP Code:

<?php
if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
       if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
          include($file);
       }
   }
   closedir($handle);
}
?>

I need to have dhtml popup window for each html file in a folder on my site, and I need the script to add the window script, because files are added and removed evry day, now my plain is that in the html files would be the window script, and the php code would find the files and run the code in the index.html file (my homepage where I need the windows.
