include in a string?

Hey, I need some help i need to include a file in a string, is that possible?

This is what i tryed, knowing it wont work but maybe you'll understand what im talking about when you see this:

$query = "SELECT * FROM members WHERE include("sSs.php")";

see i need to include sSs.php in the string, can anyone help me?

Hi mate,

Well,

You need to import the file into a variable and then parse that to the sql string.

I will assume that you have the file in the right format.

For testing - always do the trusty echo

echo "$query <br>";

so you can see what the php is trying to ask on the Mysql.


$filename="sSs.php";
$file = fread($fp,filesize($filename));

$query = "SELECT * FROM members where '$file'";

Remember to include the single apostrophe around the $file.

I grabbed this code ages ago from www.php.net when I needed to read in the contents of a file. It has served me well.

Cheers.
