Problem with include in PHP
October 01, 2009 03:18AM
Hello,

l use phorum in my html website . But my new site is in php and l don't arrive to integrate Phorum with include. l have the following errors:

Warning: include_once(./common.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/lestrain/www/forum/index.php on line 21

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening './common.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php5') in /home/lestrain/www/forum/index.php on line 21

Warning: include_once(./include/format_functions.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/lestrain/www/forum/index.php on line 23

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening './include/format_functions.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php5') in /home/lestrain/www/forum/index.php on line 23

Fatal error: Call to undefined function phorum_check_read_common() in /home/lestrain/www/forum/index.php on line 25

Is it possible to do it with an include?

Thank you very much,

Guillaume.

No, phorum is not designed to be "just included".
What is it that you are trying to achieve with the include?
Why not linking to it like in the old site?

One problem you will run into is that including Phorum into your existing page will cause css/html errors (as the header/footer templates will insert new tags like <html>,<head>,<body>, etc.

Your first problem is that you are calling the Phorum code outside its working directory. You will want to save the current working directory, move to Phorum's directory, include Phorum, then move back to your original working directory. 
Language: PHP
$cwd = getcwd()
chdir(';/your/phorum/directory';);
 
Include Phorum
 
chdir($cwd);

Looking at your site, you may be better off including your site's code in your Phorum templates header.tpl and footer.tpl without trying to include it from your default.php page. Another problem you will run into with the include method is the need to rewrite every url in Phorum to use your default.php page. The more I think about it, the more I would suggest a custom template with your site's look wrapped around Phorum through the header and footer files.

Hello,

It's because l would like to have phorum in my page instead of in a new window.
In html, it's easy but do you know an other method in php to do it without an include?
Thank you,

Guillaume.

its not a new window. just link to it and use the method Joe described. Put your layout in the template.
There is no difference in that with a site in php or html.

One of the great things about Phorum is that you can use PHP in the template files. So, in the header.tpl file you can use blocks of code placed in the relevant areas in that file to pull in your site's custom css and custom menus just before the Phorum content begins. So you might change: 
{HEAD_TAGS}

</head>
<body onload="{IF FOCUS_TO_ID}var focuselt=document.getElementById('{FOCUS_TO_ID}'); if (focuselt) focuselt.focus();{/IF}">

{! Please leave this div in your template   you can alter anything above this line }
<div id="phorum">
To: 
{HEAD_TAGS}

</head>
<body onload="{IF FOCUS_TO_ID}var focuselt=document.getElementById('{FOCUS_TO_ID}'); if (focuselt) focuselt.focus();{/IF}">
<?php
  $cwd = getcwd();
  chdir('/your/site's/directory');
  include_once("your_menu_file"); // this would be the file(s) called in your default.php script up to the "<div id="mainContent">"
  chdir($cwd);
?>
{! Please leave this div in your template   you can alter anything above this line }
<div id="phorum">

Then in the footer.tpl file you would use similar code to include the file(s) used in your default.php script to close the mainContent div and finish the page.
