PHP includes in the vb templates

[The Keeper]

Hi I put this in my template:

<?php include("file.php"); ?>

however it's not being done

how would one include a php file onto the main page?

Try something like this:
ob_start();
require("file.php");
$file = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean(); Then put $file wherever you want on your page.

nope.
seems php isn't recognised at all.

This is exactly what I was searching for... and it works great!!!

Thanks FWC!

$file = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean()

How you would do it depends on what version of vB, but you can't put php in templates.

How would you do this in the latest stable version..
