include(' echo $row['hmtl'];') ?????????

vaska

i'm not sure how i do this...

i have a table that has html/urls (ex 12.html) in it...i want to include these files into a php file...the problem though (at least this is my understanding of the problem)...is that i can't echo/include inside of another include...it will only display "12.html"...

if i can't do this...i'd be happy extracting the code from the html file, but it's basically the same thing...

i'm not sure what the best way is to do this...or how actually...i know there has to be an efficient way...

any ideas? thanks...jv

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to accomplish, are you trying to use nested includes?

vaska

if a nested include is one include inside of another...then YES...jv

So $row['html'] contains the name of the file you want to include? It's just

include($row['html']);

If $row['html'] == "12.html", for example, this would have the same effect as writing

include("12.html");

And 12.html would be included.

This also works for PHP scripts.

Yes you can have nested includes (one inside of another), but the files should still have a PHP extension, so if you try to put an include inside of 12.html then it likely won't work.

It will work perfectly well - .php, .html, .txt, .inc, .whatever:

------8<-------foo.bar-----------8<-------
<?php
echo 'FOO!';
?>
---------------->8------------------------

------8<-----wibble.php----------8<-------
<?php
include('foo.bar');
?>
---------------->8------------------------

It's generally not a good idea to use extensions other than those ending with '.php' for PHP scripts, though, for security reasons.

weedy...i already knew that...i just needed a quick refresher course...that's all...

geezus...that's the second time now i've asked a completely stupid question like that...

thanks...jv

yes, if you use include include a variable, the variable must point a existed file.
