Include within an echo statement doesn't work

[Tony718s]

I cannot get the following code to work.

<?php
if(date("Ymd")<"20070928")
{
echo "
<tr>
<td class='diary' width='12%'>Fri<br>28<br>September<br>2007</td>
<td class='diary' width='12%' >7.15 pm </td>
<td class='diary' width='25%' >Annual Dinner </td>
<td class='diary' width='25%' >" . include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/marsh.inc.php' . "</td>
<td class='diary' width='24%'><a class='diary' href='mailto:judyzz@geraldc.co.uk?subject=Annual_Dinner_2007'>Judy</a> on 01234 567890 </td>
</tr>";
}
?>

It produces the following message : Warning: main(/home/fhlinux186/x/xoopytester.co.uk/user/htdocs/includes/marsh.inc.php</td> <td class='diary' width='24%'><a class='diary' href='mailto:judyzz@fitzgeraldc.co.uk?subject=Annual Dinner 2007'>Judy</a> on 01234 567890 </td> </tr> ) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/fhlinux186/x/xoopytester.co.uk/user/htdocs/diary.php on line 94

The include file is present on the remote server and there are no case sesitivity issues. The content of marsh.inc.php is as follows :

<? php
{
echo "<a class='diary' href='http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=nr1+3qq&ie=UTF8&ll=52.623842,1.291645&spn=0.005901,0.014462&z=16&om=1'>Marsh Ltd</a>";
}
?>

I have also tried it as :

<a class='diary' href='http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=nr1+3qq&ie=UTF8&ll=52.623842,1.291645&spn=0.005901,0.014462&z=16&om=1'>Marsh Ltd</a>

and

"<a class='diary' href='http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=nr1+3qq&ie=UTF8&ll=52.623842,1.291645&spn=0.005901,0.014462&z=16&om=1'>Marsh Ltd</a>"

The server is on a hosted package.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I cannot get the following code to work.

...

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/marsh.inc.php'

...

You might try re-writing that as:

include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/marsh.inc.php')

Not sure if that is the problem, but might be a good start. I find using parentheses to be very explicit helps solve some problems of this sort.

Thanks for your input. Unfortunately, it hasn't resolved the problem.

Well worth a try through.

Kind regards

Can you post the code now that you adjusted it as I recommended, and the warnings that are being generated?

It really seems as though it is a error with your include statement according to the warning message. To me it looks like the include is trying to load a file called:

"/home/fhlinux186/x/xoopytester.co.uk/user/htdocs/includes/marsh.inc.php</td> <td class='diary' width='24%'><a class='diary' href='mailto:judyzz@fitzgeraldc.co.uk?subject=Annual Dinner 2007'>Judy</a> on 01234 567890 </td> </tr>"

Which of course it won't be able to find.

Don't echo the include....

echo "some stuff";
include("file.php");
echo "yeah";

[jpease]

Don't echo the include....

echo "some stuff";
include("file.php");
echo "yeah";

That's how I'd write it too... but...

to specifically answer the original question, you need to do this:

<?php
      if(date("Ymd")<"20070928")
      {
      echo "
   <tr>
     <td class='diary' width='12&#37;'>Fri<br>28<br>September<br>2007</td>
     <td class='diary' width='12%' >7.15 pm </td>
     <td class='diary' width='25%' >Annual Dinner </td>
     <td class='diary' width='25%' >" . eval(include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/marsh.inc.php')). "</td>
<td class='diary' width='24%'><a class='diary' href='mailto:judyzz@geraldc.co.uk?subject=Annual_Dinner_2007'>Judy</a> on 01234 567890 </td>
   </tr>";
}
?>

You need the eval() in there to make it work.

Maybe you can try:

<?php
if(date("Ymd")<"20070928")
{
?>
  <tr>
  <td class='diary' width='12%'>Fri<br>28<br>September<br>2007</td>
  <td class='diary' width='12%' >7.15 pm </td>
  <td class='diary' width='25%' >Annual Dinner </td>
  <td class='diary' width='25%' >
    <?php  include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/marsh.inc.php' ?>
  </td>
  <td class='diary' width='24%'><a class='diary' href='mailto:judyzz@geraldc.co.uk?subject=Annual_Dinner_2007'>Judy</a> on 01234 567890 </td>
  </tr>
<?php
}
?>

OR:

<?php
if(date("Ymd")<"20070928")
{
echo "
<tr>
<td class='diary' width='12%'>Fri<br>28<br>September<br>2007</td>
<td class='diary' width='12%' >7.15 pm </td>
<td class='diary' width='25%' >Annual Dinner </td>
<td class='diary' width='25%' >";
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/marsh.inc.php';
echo "</td>
<td class='diary' width='24%'><a class='diary' href='mailto:judyzz@geraldc.co.uk?subject=Annual_Dinner_2007'>Judy</a> on 01234 567890 </td>
</tr>";
}
?>

Once again, thanks for your time. I can see what you're saying. It's taking the whole code as the include file name. Somehow, the include statement is not terminating.

Code is as follows :

<?php
if(date("Ymd")<"20070928")
{
echo "
<tr>
<td class='diary' width='12%'>Fri<br>28<br>September<br>2007</td>
<td class='diary' width='12%' >7.15 pm </td>
<td class='diary' width='25%' >Annual Dinner </td>
<td class='diary' width='25%' >" . include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/marsh.inc.php') . "</td>
<td class='diary' width='24%'><a class='diary' href='mailto:judyzz@geraldc.co.uk?subject=Annual_Dinner_2007'>Judith Little</a> on 01234 567890 </td>
</tr>";
}
?>

and the error message is :

Warning: main(/home/fhlinux186/x/xoopytester.co.uk/user/htdocs/includes/marsh.inc.php</td> <td class='diary' width='24%'><a class='diary' href='mailto:judyzz@geraldc.co.uk?subject=Annual_Dinner_2007'>Judith Little</a> on 01234 567890 </td> </tr>) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/fhlinux186/x/xoopytester.co.uk/user/htdocs/diary.php on line 92

Line 92, incidentally, is the </tr>"; row which is further indication that the include is taking the rest of the HTML with it.

Kind regards

Thanks guys !! I'm there.

Code that worked is as follows :

<?php
if(date("Ymd")<"20070928")
{
echo "
<tr>
<td class='diary' width='12%'>Fri<br>28<br>September<br>2007</td>
<td class='diary' width='12%' >7.15 pm </td>
<td class='diary' width='25%' >Annual Dinner </td>
<td class='diary' width='25%' >"; include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/marsh.inc.php'); echo "</td>
<td class='diary' width='24%'><a class='diary' href='mailto:judyzz@geraldc.co.uk?subject=Annual_Dinner_2007'>Judith Little</a> on 01234 567890 </td>
</tr>";
}
?>

Kind regards

Tony:

Glad you got it working. I would suggest that you write is like this though:

 
   <?php if(date("Ymd")<"20070928"){ ?>
<tr>
<td class='diary' width='12%'>Fri<br>28<br>September<br>2007</td>
<td class='diary' width='12%' >7.15 pm </td>
<td class='diary' width='25%' >Annual Dinner </td>
<td class='diary' width='25%' ><?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/marsh.inc.php'); ?></td>
<td class='diary' width='24%'><a class='diary' href='mailto:judyzz@geraldc.co.uk?subject=Annual_Dinner_2007'>Judith Little</a> on 01234 567890 </td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>

That's what I'd probably do anyways. There is probably no need to echo all the static HTML out, and might make it easier for bugs to enter in.
