Includes & PHP

[versatility]

I have a PHP application that is currently inside a folder in the site root.

I have tried to call it on a cms page using a variety of methods:

Entering the php in a UDT
Putting an include statement in a UDT (various formats)

No matter what I do, all the file references and variables inside the app break.

I saw a post that referenced this:

Code: Select all

global $gCms;
include $gCms->config['root_path'] . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'filename.php';

and said to put it in the UDT

and I think it is in the ball park of my problem - but I do not know how to modify it to make it work.  Do I replace root path, directory separator and filename?

Or is there a different approach I should be using?

Thanks in advance.

Try this

Code: Select all

global $gCms;
global $config;
include $config['root_path'] . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'filename.php';

Thanks, Cyberman, I may still be doing something wrong.

I put this in:

global $gCms;
global $config;
include $config['root_path'] . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'app/search.php';

I still get error messages like this:

Warning: main(include/locale.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/robertspikol.com/httpdocs/idx/include/dbcommon.php on line 24

and that line that file refers to another series of includes like:

include("include/locale.php");
include("include/events.php");
include("include/commonfunctions.php");
include("include/dbconnection.php");

There are about 20 lines of errors referencing files in a similar fashion.

Warning: main(include/locale.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/robertspikol.com/httpdocs/idx/include/dbcommon.php on line 24

Is this the correct path to your files?

Have you tried to use

Code: Select all

include $config['root_url'] . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'app/search.php';

Cyberman, it's a third party script and it looks like the files really aren't where they say they are - weird.  Thank you for the help, not working but not a CMS problem I do not think.  The app works great outside a CMS page, and it doesn't look like I have the necessary knowledge to figure out why it doesn't work inside.

I am thoroughly stumped - if you go to this link http://robspikol.theversatilitynetwork.com/idx/property_search.php you can see that this works as expected when not called from within a CMS page.  It is the same file I am trying to call from within CMS.

On the home page, where I am trying to include it, I still get an error http://robspikol.theversatilitynetwork.com/ (Ignore the iframe above it - one other solution I tried and discarded) - the error is

Code: Select all

Warning: fopen(include/errors.xml): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/robertspikol.com/httpdocs/idx/include/commonfunctions.php on line 662
Cannot open XML data file: include/errors.xml

So it would seem CMS is somehow complicating things, but I do not know precisely how or where.  I'm pretty desperate to get this working, so any and all help is deeply appreciated.

Have you tried to use ful / absolute path for fopen?
