Simple problem but idk how to fix it

Hello

It's very simple to explain. I want to include my custom php header on my forum so i set a plugin with global_start with this code:

Code:

ob_start();

   include('custom/header.php');

   $custom_header = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();

Then i call $custom_header in template. It is not working. I can see nothing so, temporarily, i'm using

Code:

$custom_header = include('custom/header.php');

It works but, as soon as i open a single <div></div> tag in header.php all my forum become totally bugged. Oh and i also tried to ob_start in my file with this in header.php:

Code:

<? ob_start('cache_page'); ?>

<div class="blablablablablablabla"></div>

<? ob_end_clean(); ?>

Again bug is served. Any idea to fix this simple problem?

Thank you!

Maybe try this:

PHP Code:


		
			
ob_start();

   include('custom/header.php');

   $custom_header = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();

vB_Template::preRegister('template_name', array('custom_header' => $custom_header));

(of course change 'template_name' to whatever template your want to put your custom header in.

And then in the template:

Code:

{vb:raw custom_header}

Here's an article about that: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228078

I don't know why the other things you posted didn't work - I learned a couple things about php just trying to figure out your code. :o

Why are you using ob_start and ob_get_contents instead of file_get_contents or file?

I think it might be possible that you mess parts of the vbulletin php file up, if you use ob_end_clean in the wrong place? Not exactly sure if end_clean closed the last ob_start - or everything. And i do not think you need it if you use file() or file_get_contents() instead?

just realised you use a *.php file, then

$foo = include(YOURFILE); should have the desired effekt as long as your phpfile returns the desired value.

I'm guessing the OP is using ob_start()/ob_end_clean() because the vb manual has that as an example of how to include an external file. I think the reason for doing that is if you have a php file that produces html (as opposed to returning it in a string) then with this method you don't have to make any changes to it.

I'm using the code published (as guide) in vB forum so the code you are "trying to figure out" is not mine :) Anyway now it works.

Mooff i'm using ob_start just because it was written in vB forum and the thread has been recently linked by "vBulletin Technical Support Lead" so i thought that it was good.

edit: exactly kh99. There are php and js scripts in the included file

Thanks.

Yes, I recognized that code as the suggested way to include an external file. The code I was "trying to figure out" was the return value of an include file (which I forgot that you could do), the ob_start('cache_page') where it includes a callback function, and using the <? ... ?> short tags - all things I just didn't know without looking them up in the php manual, so I learned something.

Anyway, I'm glad you got it working.
