php include not showing up

[blazer380]

I have a PHP script that shows how many visitors are online at the moment and I am trying to use a php include function to have it in my theme.php file. The way I figured is I will put it is in a form of a button. When I put the include function, the button shows up, but the script doesnt. If I put the same include in the anycontent.php file, then it shows up. What am I doing wrong?

This is the code for the extra button with the include to show # of users online.

<!-- BEGIN Extra Button -->
                                        <td><img name="spacer" src="images/spacer.gif" width="5" height="25" border="0" id="spacer" alt="" /></td>
                                        <td><img name="buttonleft" src="themes/hardwired/images/buttonleft.gif" width="17" height="25" border="0" id="buttonleft" alt="" /></td>
                                        <td background="themes/hardwired/images/buttoncenter.gif">
                                                <? include"/home/scum002/public_html/virtualonline/virtualonline.php";?>
                                        </td>
                                        <td><img name="buttonright" src="themes/hardwired/images/buttonright.gif" width="7" height="25" border="0" id="buttonright" alt="" /></td>
<!-- END Extra Button -->


I have tried all of the following ways, but none of them show up.

This has been asked quite often, search the board for "custom header".

well i found the code that i needed after searching, BUT it shows up in the top left of my gallery and not where I want it to. What is wrong with the code below? (my gallery can be seen at http://www.s-c-u-m.com/cell )

Code Select Expand


function pageheader($section, $meta = '')
{
    global $CONFIG, $THEME_DIR;
    global $template_header, $lang_charset, $lang_text_dir;
    header('P3P: CP="CAO DSP COR CURa ADMa DEVa OUR IND PHY ONL UNI COM NAV INT DEM PRE"');
    user_save_profile();
    $template_vars = array('{LANG_DIR}' => $lang_text_dir,
        '{TITLE}' => $CONFIG['gallery_name'] . ' - ' . $section,
        '{CHARSET}' => $CONFIG['charset'] == 'language file' ? $lang_charset : $CONFIG['charset'],
        '{META}' => $meta,
        '{GAL_NAME}' => $CONFIG['gallery_name'],
        '{GAL_DESCRIPTION}' => $CONFIG['gallery_description'],
        '{MAIN_MENU1}' => theme_main_menu1(),
        '{MAIN_MENU2}' => theme_main_menu2(),
        '{ADMIN_MENU}' => theme_admin_mode_menu(),
        '{USERS_ONLINE}' => include("http://www.s-c-u-m.com/virtualonline/virtualonline.php")
        );
    echo template_eval($template_header, $template_vars);
}

When looking at http://www.s-c-u-m.com/cell/themes/hardwired/template.html I get

Code Select Expand

<? $update = "$_POST[update]";
if ($update=="1") {
$name = "$_POST[name]";
$comment = "$_POST[comment]";
$Host = "localhost";
$User = "****";
$Password = "****";
$DBName = "***";
$Link = mysql_connect ($Host, $User, $Password);
$Query = "INSERT INTO `comments` ( `id` , `name` , `comment` )VALUES('', '$name', '$comment');";
$Result = mysql_db_query($DBName, $Query, $Link);
mysql_close($Link);
}

$Host2 = "localhost";
$User2 = "***";
$Password2 = "****";
$DBName2 = "****";
$Link2 = mysql_connect ($Host2, $User2, $Password2);
$Query2 = "SELECT * FROM `comments` ORDER BY 'id' DESC";
$Result2 = mysql_db_query($DBName2, $Query2, $Link2);

?>at the very top of the page - you seem to have applied another mod that enables parsing of php directly in template.html - you mustn't. All that is suppossed to go into template.html (using the method suggested) is {USERS_ONLINE}. Take a look at http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=9863.msg44419#msg44419

that PHP code in top of template.html is for a javascript that I need. How would I incorporate that into theme.php?
As for {USERS_ONLINE} inside template.html, it shows only a "1", instead of "Users Online: 4". Not sure if that other PHP code is intefering with it. Is there any way someone can show me the code I need to put into theme.php and into template.html to make the UsersOnline php include work as well as the code php code for the javascript?

Thanx

[Joachim Müller]

like I said: do not enable php parsing for template.html - the mod is just silly.
If you need JavaScript, you should code JavaScript. If you need dynamic JavaScript, use the custom header technology outlined in the thread I refered to (yes, you can have two or more cutom headers).

Joachim

P.S. PHP start tags should be <?php, not <?

[blazer380]

Ok, so I should remove that PHP code from template.html and instead type in {CUSTOM_HEADER}
And in template.html also put {USERS_ONLINE} where I want it to show.

and in theme.php replace the pageheader with this?:

function pageheader($section, $meta = '')
{
    global $CONFIG, $THEME_DIR;
    global $template_header, $lang_charset, $lang_text_dir;

   // this is the place where the custom header file gets included
   if(empty($custom_header)){
      ob_start();
      include('menu_main.htm');
      $custom_header = cleanup_custom_includes(ob_get_contents());
      ob_clean();
   }

    header('P3P: CP="CAO DSP COR CURa ADMa DEVa OUR IND PHY ONL UNI COM NAV INT DEM PRE"');
    user_save_profile();

    $template_vars = array('{LANG_DIR}' => $lang_text_dir,
        '{TITLE}' => $CONFIG['gallery_name'] . ' - ' . $section,
        '{CHARSET}' => $CONFIG['charset'] == 'language file' ? $lang_charset : $CONFIG['charset'],
        '{META}' => $meta,
        '{GAL_NAME}' => $CONFIG['gallery_name'],
        '{GAL_DESCRIPTION}' => $CONFIG['gallery_description'],
        '{MAIN_MENU}' => theme_main_menu(),
        '{ADMIN_MENU}' => theme_admin_mode_menu(),
        '{USERS_ONLINE}' => include("http://www.s-c-u-m.com/virtualonline/virtualonline.php")
        '{CUSTOM_HEADER}' => <? $update = "$_POST[update]";
if ($update=="1") {
$name = "$_POST[name]";
$comment = "$_POST[comment]";
$Host = "localhost";
$User = "scum002_scum002x";
$Password = "seth123";
$DBName = "scum002_xmb1";
$Link = mysql_connect ($Host, $User, $Password);
$Query = "INSERT INTO `comments` ( `id` , `name` , `comment` )VALUES('', '$name', '$comment');";
$Result = mysql_db_query($DBName, $Query, $Link);
mysql_close($Link);
}

$Host2 = "localhost";
$User2 = "scum002_scum002x";
$Password2 = "seth123";
$DBName2 = "scum002_xmb1";
$Link2 = mysql_connect ($Host2, $User2, $Password2);
$Query2 = "SELECT * FROM `comments` ORDER BY 'id' DESC";
$Result2 = mysql_db_query($DBName2, $Query2, $Link2);

?>
,
        );

    echo template_eval($template_header, $template_vars);
}

[Joachim Müller]

no, of course not. Maybe you should read the whole thread I was refering to. The user asked how to include another php-enabled file 'menu_main.htm', and the code I gave him will just do that. You will have to edit the code I posted to fit your design. You can not just insert your custom php code anywhere - it has to go where (in the thread I refered to) the code include('menu_main.htm'); is, and you will of course have to define the placeholders (the stuff in curly braces) you introduce in template.html. Maybe you should add one at a time, to make this less complicated for you.

ok.. as you can tell i have no idea what i am doing. i have attached the zip file that includes theme.php and template.html
you know where things are supposed to go........ can you please edit them for me? I know {CUSTOM_HEADER} will go on top of template.html
and {USERS_ONLINE} will go somewhere within template.html. As far as editing pageheader, I have no clue.....

[Joachim Müller]

I could tell you have no idea. Don't get me wrong, but imo you shouldn't do what you're trying to do, as you simply don't have the skills to accomplish it (yet). I have edited the files, but the custom footer won't do what you expect it to do - the code is just crap. I put some notes into the code, and I'll post the relevant bits here as well, so others might learn from it (although this is not a good example for what you can do with custom header functions).
I had to delete the attachment you made, as it contains your db password. You must never ever post your db details publicly; you're encouraged  to change it asap (or ask your webhost to do this for you) for security reasons.

This is the relevant part of theme.php:

function pageheader($section, $meta = '')
{
    global $CONFIG, $THEME_DIR;
    global $template_header, $lang_charset, $lang_text_dir;

   // this is the place where the custom header file gets included
   if(empty($custom_header)){
      ob_start();
      // your custom footer's php code starts here.
      // Of course it's crap and won't work, that's why I commented it out.
      // To put it back into place, remove the slash_asterisk and asterisk_slash lines (910 and 931).
      // the code won't actually do anything except running a query (without using the queried data for anything particular).
      // You'll have to edit the password values as well, as I removed them for security reasons.

That worked great. I removed the database code from theme.php alltogether and inserted it into anycontent.php and it works. I also changed the password and username.

Thanx for your help.
