RE: [phplib] Using Template class - How do I include another PHP script? From: Rogers, Paul (Paul.Rogers <email protected>)

Thanks for the reply. I've tried what you suggested as follows:

In my main script I've added:

include ('database.php'); <- second script file
set_var(array(
          "someothervar" => "some other text",
          "SOMETABLE", $table->show_result()));

and included the {SOMETABLE} in a cell of the table in index.ihtml (about
three quarters of the way down the page)

However when the script runs the database output is the first thing which
appears on the page and no output appaers where I've asked it to :o(

I think maybe I have two problems:

1) The show_result() function outputs directly to the browser at the point
at which it's called.

2) The function doesn't actually return anything (not sure about this)?

3) do I need to set some of the variables from the second script ie $table &
$db to global so they are available in the first script?

I would be grateful for any further input that you or others might have.

Many thanks

Paul

Yes any output from anything (so long as it's text) can be inserted into a
template variable and parsed accordingly.

$tpl->set_var("SOMETABLE", $table->show_result());
