It is something simple... just recheck the tags and pathing... remember that you have to put the whole path in if you are not keeping the code where Oliver does. I use it all the time... It is a great feature... Here is an example

Code: Select all

{PHP:/home/stuff/public_html/system/where.php}

Hope this helps.

if I insert this tag...

Code: Select all

{PHP:where.php}

in which folder i must put where.php file ??

the root dir

I believe ALL replacement tags with the exception of the {IMAGE:} family of repTags are reletive to the root dir.

{IMAGE:} Family are reletive to the PICTURES dir

i have included {PHP:my_external.php} in a content;
my_external.php in root dir;

Warning: include_ext_php(my_external.php) [function.include-ext-php]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/web/www.sporteconomy.it/website/include/inc ... nc.inc.php on line 1062

Warning: include_ext_php() [function.include-ext-php]: Failed opening 'my_external.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php/PEAR') in /home/web/www.sporteconomy.it/website/include/inc ... nc.inc.php on line 1062

try stripping the _ from the name
this may be automatically stripped in the processing of the replacement tag and therefore returning a file not found error

nothing
... Failed opening 'myexternal.php' ...

I wonder if your external.php is doing something that phpwcms doesn't like it
to as a {PHP:} included file.

if you link to the file from an article it works as a self contained thing right?

Perfect, that is exactly what I needed - thanks!

I am struggeling with the same problem; I have included a quotes script which should be called from the directory.

Code: Select all

{PHP:/home/.kale/salonphi/salonphilosophique.net/wcms/quotes/quotation.php}

I included the above in my template but I get an error saying:

Code: Select all

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in /home/.kale/salonphi/salonphilosophique.net/wcms/quotes/quotation_includes.php on line 30
Error:

This file is something which is called from the quotation.php file but when pointing my browser to the quotationfile directly, i do not get an error, only when including the file through the template.

any clues/pointers?

would you post or pm the code?

code of exactly which php file?

cheers,

K.

quotation.php

Code: Select all
