Call a template

I'm new to all of this. I'm installing a "Video Game Cheats" hack. Basically I'm setting it up so that the information is in a template and I'd create an index page that would call the template.

My question is: What is the PHP code that would call the template? Thanks!

PHP Code:


		
			
 <?php



  error_reporting(7);



require('./global.php');



eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("templatename")."\");");



?>

I put exactly what you said (added the template name of course). And I got the following error:

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/theraven/public_html/cheats/index.php on line 5

What does that mean?

It means that index.php is not in the same directory as global.php.

If you want to call the template from outside your forum directory you can try this instead:

PHP Code:


		
			
 <?php



  error_reporting(7);



chdir('/path/to/forums/directory/');

require('./global.php');



eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("donate")."\");");



?>

You will probably need to make all the header and footer links absolute (/forums/search.php), as well as the path to the images folder, to make everything work correctly.

What i did was put the following in member.php:

PHP Code:


		
			
// Description here

if ($action=="NAME") {

  $templatesused = 'templatename';

  include("./global.php");

  eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("templatename")."\");");

}

then , in your forum, just link to member.php?action=NAME and it works. Don't forget to create a template for the templatename tho, with full content (whole page)

Always use single quotes on strings and double quotes on strings containing variables :)

Makes the script faster...

I seriously doubt it makes the script faster than an msec...I always use double-quotes everywhere for consistency except for array keys. :)

Thanks for your help, I'm having just one more problem.

I'm using index.php to call the template. How do I eliminate the other elements on the page? The template keeps getting generating the index page and then it puts the template stuff at the bottom.

Really? Now that is interesting fiburt...

Its a standard conformity with a lot of people I work with :)

Filburt hit me with that "it don't matter" statement too. I just dropped it though as I've seen it matter. Don't want a ++++ing match, but it seems to matter.
