Including a webpage into another PHP file - NEED HELP!

I have tried every possible combination of trying to get this done and have got close, but it still isn't working correctly.

What I want to do is include my auction site, which can be viewed here: http://www.generalaviationonline.com/auction/ into a separate PHP file that I have created that was integrated into the navbar mod & used the How to create your own VB page article.

So my file, which is auction.php contains the following code:

Code:

<?php



// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################



define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'auction_plug');

define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);

// change this depending on your filename



// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################

// get special phrase groups

$phrasegroups = array();



// get special data templates from the datastore

$specialtemplates = array();



// pre-cache templates used by all actions

$globaltemplates = array('auction',

);



// pre-cache templates used by specific actions

$actiontemplates = array();



// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

// if your page is outside of your normal vb forums directory, you should change directories by uncommenting the next line

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

require_once('./global.php');



// #######################################################################

// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################

// #######################################################################



$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'Auction'));

$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);



// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####

$pagetitle = 'General Aviation Auction';



$content = file_get_contents('http://www.generalaviationonline.com/auction/');

echo $content;



// ###### NOW YOUR TEMPLATE IS BEING RENDERED ######



$templater = vB_Template::create('navbar_auction');

$templater->register_page_templates();

$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);

$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);

print_output($templater->render());

?>

While this is the closest code (which is highlighted in red) that I have been able to use to somewhat do what I want, when it outputs the auction site, it doesn't load it in between: vb:raw navbar & vb:raw footer, instead it displays it at the very top of the page (see attachment photo) and it doesn't even load all the images.

Any ideas what I need to do? I would even pay someone to help me fix it. Thanks!

Two things, why not just put the code into the page instead of this line:

PHP Code:


		
			
$content = file_get_contents('http://www.generalaviationonline.com/auction/');

And secondly, you cannot use echo when spitting out something to a template. You need to assign the output to a variable and then spit out the variable in the template.

PHP Code:


		
			
$templater = vB_Template::create('navbar_auction'); 
$templater->register_page_templates(); 
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar); 
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
$templater->register('content', $content );  
print_output($templater->render());

I didn't think about placing the code directly in the php file. Where do you feel is a good place for the code? Where I had the echo command?

And the second part is over my skill level. Thanks for the quick input.

Here is the code from my index file for the auction site, I know that I will need to add "auction/" in front of most of the directories so that it will be able to find it, but I will probably need a little help combining both php files, if someone could help me, I would be indebted to you! :)

Code:

<?

session_start();



define ('IN_SITE', 1);

define ('INDEX_PAGE', 1); ## for integration



if (!file_exists('includes/config.php')) echo "<script>document.location.href='install/install.php'</script>";



include_once ('includes/global.php');



include_once ('includes/functions_login.php');

include_once ('includes/functions_item.php');



if (stristr($_GET['option'], 'logout'))

{

        logout();

}



include_once ('global_header.php');



if (isset($_GET['change_language']))

{

        $all_languages = list_languages('site');



        if (in_array($_GET['change_language'], $all_languages))

        {

                $session->set('site_lang', $_GET['change_language']);

        }



        $refresh_link = 'index.php';



        $template_output .= '<br><p class="contentfont" align="center">' . MSG_SITE_LANG_CHANGED . '<br><br>

                Please click <a href="' . process_link('index') . '">' . MSG_HERE . '</a> ' . MSG_PAGE_DOESNT_REFRESH . '</p>';

        $template_output .= '<script>window.setTimeout(\'changeurl();\',300); function changeurl(){window.location=\'' . $refresh_link . '\'}</script>';

}

else if (isset($_GET['change_skin']))

{

        $all_skins = list_skins('site');



        if (in_array($_GET['default_theme'], $all_skins))

        {

                $session->set('site_theme', $_GET['default_theme']);

        }



        $refresh_link = 'index.php';



        $template_output .= '<br><p class="contentfont" align="center">' . MSG_SITE_SKIN_CHANGED . '<br><br>

                Please click <a href="' . process_link('index') . '">' . MSG_HERE . '</a> ' . MSG_PAGE_DOESNT_REFRESH . '</p>';

        $template_output .= '<script>window.setTimeout(\'changeurl();\',300); function changeurl(){window.location=\'' . $refresh_link . '\'}</script>';        

}

else

{

        include_once ('global_mainpage.php');

}



include_once ('global_footer.php');



echo $template_output;



?>

I basically wrote the second part of the code for you. Cellarius wrote a really good article that you may be interested in - [vB4] Rendering templates and registering variables - a short guide That will help you understand that part of the code.

I would still not do it your way. I'd just include the code in the php file instead of in an outsite file, but that is up to you.

Okay, I tried this.. not working, I just want to pay someone!

You are welcome to post in the Requests For Paid Services if that is what you want.

I have posted this in the PAID services area and am looking for a design similar to this screenshot I edited:
