how to include file as a result of IF

[Anon]

Could any one tell me how to use the $include_file function within an IF?

Eg,

If $BLAH BLAH {

i want to include a file here

} else {

Want to iclude another file here

}

Thanks.

you kinda answered your own question:

if ($blah == 1) {
include(file_1);
} else {
include(file_0);
}

if (condition == true) {
include(\'fileA\');
} else {
include(\'fileB\');
}

Al & Xris answered the question, but thought I'd pipe in to remind you that conditional includes can lead very quickly to unmaintainable and cryptic code..... use them sparingly (and carefully🙂.

hi,

the earlier messages did provide a feasible solution but, if you wish to include a Non-PHP based file it would be better to use readfile() function..since

1. it considerable saves time in executing the file for any php content...
2. the html if contains any mallcious script (rm files) :-) could cause havoc...
