include() return value of 1

coelex

I have an PHP image script.
I place this:
$insize = include "./settings/ssize.php";

$line_complete = str_replace("+", "   <img src=\"view.php?s=$insize&t=", "$line_complete");
$line_complete = str_replace("FILE", "", "$line_complete");
$line_complete = str_replace("KEYS:", "&f=$infont\"> ", "$line_complete");
echo " $line_complete\n ";

ssize.php:
<?
if ($visitor){
mysql_connect("localhost", "***", "***")
or DIE("Unable to connect to database");
@mysql_select_db("bulk") or die("Unable to select database");
$result = mysql_query("select from users where login='$visitor'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$font = "$row[font]";

if ($row[font]) {
return $row[font];
} else {
return $row[font];
}

?>
<? } ?>

Eveytime when I run the script. It the search script keeps on returning the value of 1. I really need help.

Read up on the include() function. It is not what you (apparently) think it is.

The return value of the function indicates whether the include()d file was found and parsed, not the results of any code in the file.

Put the code that is in ssize.php into a function ssize() { block. Then, after the include("ssize.php") statement, put in

$insize = ssize();

and you should get what you want.

I keep on getting this error
"Fatal error: Cannot redeclare sfont() in ssize.php on line 2"
I did it as it says:
size.php

<?
function ssize() {
if ($visitor){
mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass")
or DIE("Unable to connect to database");
@mysql_select_db("bulk") or die("Unable to select database");
$result = mysql_query("select * from users where login='$visitor'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$font = "$row[font]";
?>
<?
if ($row[font]) {
return "$row[font]";
} else {
return "$row[font]";
}
?>
<?
}
}
?>

In the search script:

include("./settings/sfont.php");
$infont = sfont();

I'm really new to php, can you help me here?

The name of your include file is size.php and your function is called ssize(). So why is your search script doing:

include("./settings/sfont.php");
$infont = sfont();

???

shouldn't you be doing:
include("./settings/size.php");
$infont = ssize();

could you help me turn this into a function block:

<?
if ($visitor){
mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "password")
or DIE("Unable to connect to database");
@mysql_select_db("bulk") or die("Unable to select database");
$result = mysql_query("select * from users where login='$visitor'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
?>
<?
if($row[size])
echo "$row[size]";
else echo "9";
?>
<? } ?>

Thank you.
Sorry that i'm new to php.

when I did:

$infont = ssize();

it just keep printing it out. And it won't become the "$infont"

But if I do this $infont = "ssize();"; then i get an error. What should I do?

rrijnders

I am going to guess that you want a function to return the "size" field from the db. We are going to turn this into a function called ssize():

=====================
<?
function ssize($visitor) {

// what are you checking $visitor for?
 if ($visitor){

   mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "password") or DIE("Unable to connect to database");

// with an @ it would never die
   mysql_select_db("bulk") or die("Unable to select database");

// you really should specify the connection in the mysql_query() call
   $result = mysql_query("select * from users where login='" . $visitor . "'");

   $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

// always reference assoiative arrays with literals (use quotes!)
   if($row['size']) {
    // functions use "return" to pass back results
    return "$row['size']";
   }
   else
    return "9";
   }

 }

?>

So This is what it looks like:

function s_print_title_desc($file_n) {

include("./settings/ssize.php");

$file = @file($file_n);
// $file = @file1($GLOBALS[index_file]);

if ($file) {
$line_complete = implode('', $file);
$i = similar_text($line_complete, $query, $p);
eregi("<title>(.*)</title>", $line_complete, $out);

$insize = ssize();

$title = trim($out[1]);
if(isset($title)&&strlen($title)>0)
$line_complete = str_replace("$title", " ", $line_complete);
$line_complete = str_replace("+", "   <img src=\"view.php?s=$insize&t=", "$line_complete");
$line_complete = str_replace("A", "", "$line_complete");
$line_complete = str_replace("FILE:", "&f=arial\"> ", "$line_complete");
$line_complete = str_replace("#", " <img src='tag.jpg'> ", "$line_complete");
$line_complete = str_replace("@", " ", "$line_complete");
$line_complete = trim($line_complete);
$line_complete = trim(substr($line_complete, 0));
echo " $line_complete\n ";
}
else {
echo "$line_complete";
}

}

So, How can i place that funtion echo values into this:

$line_complete = str_replace("+", "   <img src=\"view.php?s=$insize&t=", "$line_complete");

"$insize"

Thank you for helping me.
