Adding PHP include file to header

Hi there

Can you please point me in the right direction on how to add a PHP include file in our forum header?

I want to add <?php include('{Path to file}');?> to our header. I have a PHP file which produces some test output which I want to display?

Any help will be much appreciated.

You'll have to utilize the plugin system and hook at global_start.

How did you solve it?

I'm having a problem with one of my plug-ins that isn't working properly.

Plugin Code

Code:

ob_start();

require_once('sigStrip.php');

$sigStripPHP = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();

And I'm calling this code in the postbit_legacy template using the following:
$sigStripPHP

A vB guy told me to use $globals['sigStripPHP'] to call it, but I get errors when I go to do that and no posts display.

The sigStrip.php for now just contains the following:

Code:

<?php

echo "Test";

?>

Thanks!

No, you would call it with $sigStripPHP.

I've tried that as well. It almost seems it's not even executing / including the phpfile when I do that, but when I check Debug mode, it does include it.

It just isn't displaying any of the output, in this case, the word "Test".

Which hook location are you using for the plugin?

Just to cover all the bases, you are using $sigStripPHP in a template, right? If so, which?

Yes. I have it entered into the postbit_legacy under the signature.

Ah ha. The hat drops. You need to move your hook's location from global_start to postbit_display_start.

Because the postbits are output by a function, you're having a scope issue -- $sigStripPHP does not exist.

Thanks. Changing the hook location fixed it.
