[RESOLVED] script reference help

[sonicfreelance]

Hello,

I have a script that I use inside a html page. I don't want the script to be part of the page....I just want to include it in the html but i don't know how to reference it:

I assume that I have to sane the php code as something.php and then reference it....but i am not sure how to....

here is the table:

<table class=design cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=90%>
<tr><th colspan=2>Today's Projects</th></tr>
<tr><td>
<?php
$xmlfile = fopen("http://www.sonicfreelance.com/rss_sonic.php?t=0", "r");
if(!$xmlfile)die("script not functioning");
$readfile = fread($xmlfile ,40000);
$searchfile = eregi("<item>(.*)</item>", $readfile ,$arrayreg);
$filechunks = explode("<item>", $arrayreg[0]);
$count = count($filechunks);
for($i=1 ; $i<=$count-1 ;$i++)
{
  $color = ($i%2==0)?'FFFFFF':'F7F7F7';
/**
*  Place the $color variable wherever you need to
*  to color the row.  Not sure of the complete output,
*  so I don't know where you want it to go.
*/
  ereg("<title>(.*)</title>",$filechunks[$i], $title);
  ereg("<link>(.*)</link>",$filechunks[$i], $links);
  echo "<div style='background-color: #$color'>";
  echo "<a href ='$links[1]'>$title[1]</a>";
  echo "</div>";
} 
?> 
</td></tr>
</table>

here is the script that i want to pull out and just include:

<?php
$xmlfile = fopen("http://www.sonicfreelance.com/rss_sonic.php?t=0", "r");
if(!$xmlfile)die("script not functioning");
$readfile = fread($xmlfile ,40000);
$searchfile = eregi("<item>(.*)</item>", $readfile ,$arrayreg);
$filechunks = explode("<item>", $arrayreg[0]);
$count = count($filechunks);
for($i=1 ; $i<=$count-1 ;$i++)
{
  $color = ($i%2==0)?'FFFFFF':'F7F7F7';
/**
*  Place the $color variable wherever you need to
*  to color the row.  Not sure of the complete output,
*  so I don't know where you want it to go.
*/
  ereg("<title>(.*)</title>",$filechunks[$i], $title);
  ereg("<link>(.*)</link>",$filechunks[$i], $links);
  echo "<div style='background-color: #$color'>";
  echo "<a href ='$links[1]'>$title[1]</a>";
  echo "</div>";
} 
?> 

thanks,
Ned

Do you mean that you want to separate the HTML file and the PHP script?

If so, then you can use the PHP include() function from the HTML file (which must, itself, be a PHP script) to execute the script:

<table class=design cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=90%>
<tr><th colspan=2>Today's Projects</th></tr>
<tr><td>
<?php include("myscript.php"); ?> 
</td></tr>
</table>

Remove the PHP code into a scirpt called "myscript.php" (or whatever).

(You didn't mean that you wanted to quote the code did you? If so, just take out the "<?php" "?>" lines from your HTML file.)
