PHP Include in Header

[suttercain]

Hi guys,

I foollowed the direction to this post as well as the official documentation and I can't seem to get it to work.

I went to "Plugins & Products" and created a new plugin. The product was selected to vBulletin, I set the hook location as vBulletin General > global_start. I left the Execution order at 5 (i have no idea what this is) and I added

ob_start();
  include('http://www.supermandatabase.com/header.php');
  $includedphp = ob_get_contents();
  ob_end_clean();

to the Plugin PHP Code box.

I then went and placed $includedphp into the header box on my template. Nothing... does not work. What can I do?

Thanks

You need to include a file on your server

include('./header.php');

or

include('/path/to/the/file/header.php');

Thanks for the reply.

I changed

ob_start();
  include('http://www.supermandatabase.com/header.php');
  $includedphp = ob_get_contents();
  ob_end_clean();

to

ob_start();
  include('/home/superman/public_html/header.php');
  $includedphp = ob_get_contents();
  ob_end_clean();

and I also tried

ob_start();
  include('./header.php');
  $includedphp = ob_get_contents();
  ob_end_clean();

I didn't change any of the other things I listed above. Still no luck...

Any other suggestions? Thanks again.

Try this temporarily, and see if it outputs the contents of the header file

ob_start();
require_once('/home/superman/public_html/header.php');
$includedphp = ob_get_clean();
echo '<hr>before';
echo $includedphp;
echo 'after<hr>';
die;

Nada.. nothing showed up in the header. I wonder if it's a pathing issue (I ran a php script and verified the correct path though) or something else?

Nothing at all showed up?

[suttercain]

Nope. You can see the bulletin board here
supermandatabase.com/forums

I even triple checked to make sure that the plugin were turned on. I tried renaming the variabl and placing it into the header. Nothing... I know a lot of php and this has me scratching my head.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't mean "Nothing" showed up. I meant nothing showed p that we set in the plugin variable.
