[vBulletin 4] Simple way of including an external PHP file

[zero477]

check your php.ini and server configurarion ... I think you cannot require_once an URL ....

Ive set allow_url_include=1 in php.ini now that gets rid of the first error, still the other two errors:

Warning: require_once(http://al-hussain.co.uk/wp- content/themes/Karma/header.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(106) : eval()'d code on line 3

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'http://al-hussain.co.uk/wp- content/themes/Karma/header.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/alhussai/public_html/forum/includes/class_bootstrap.php(106) : eval()'d code on line 3

Any ideas guys?

Sorry, i have no idea... but i think it has to do with the streams or paths ...

You can't do a require_once on an http:// URL... you can only require (or include) on a local file on your server and it has to be by a local path.

Even with that as below im getting the exact same error messages:

ob_start();
  require_once('/home/alhussai/public_html/wp-
content/themes/Karma/header.php');
  $php_include = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
vB_Template::preRegister('Test',array('php_include' => $php_include));

I just dont want to have to copy the html and css manually into vbulletin

I noticed in the error message above and in the one you posted on vbulletin.com that there's a space between wp- and content. It should be all one word, so maybe try taking out whatever character that is (so it reads require_once('/home/alhussai/public_html/wp-content/themes/Karma/header.php', all on one line).

Thanks for the reply the error seem to have gone and now its giving just this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function language_attributes() in /home/alhussai/public_html/wp-content/themes/Karma/header.php on line 2

--------------- Added [DATE]1343317885[/DATE] at [TIME]1343317885[/TIME] ---------------

Removed language_attributes() from header.php now just a blank page now errors :/

I think the header.php is depending on some Wordpress functions that you aren't including.

Hello,
am a new Owner of vb4.2 and would like to add an echo Script.
Unfortunately, this does not in the Templates, the Output will always appear at the top left.
What can I do? I use the Standart Style! Please help me..

I have add a Plugin:

PHP Code:

ob_start();
include('/var/www/virtual/htdocs/echo.php');
return $back;
ob_end_clean(); 


and add this in a Template

{vb:raw back}

still not Work, all other Sample here in Forum not Work.

The same Script tested in the Customer Sidebar, thats Works fine

[kh99]

Try this:

ob_start();
include('/var/www/virtual/htdocs/echo.php');
echo $back;
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();  
vB_Template::preRegister('template',array('back' => $output));

but change 'template' to the name of the template where you want to include the output.


(you may not need the ob_get_contents(), but I'm not sure if the echo script creates any output other than the $back value).
