include a php file

[sitbyme]

I'm sure in time I'll catch on tpl files but not yet.

Iwant to include a php file into my directory right above the bottom center banner. It is a media player and resides in directory light3s/wimpy.php which is in the same line as the templates directory. it is the green leaves template.

I tried putting an include on line 1 of the footer tpl as it appers the banner is on line 1 and I moved it down to 3 but i keep getting can't find no such directory etc

Any help out there?

thanks

Hello sitbyme,
If you want include php file in tlp file you can use the following function:
{include_php file="/light3s/wimpy.php"}
"light3s/wimpy.php" - should have location in the root of directory (not in template directories)

Thanks for the info but i still can't get it to work.. here s=is the error, at least I'm putting it in the correct place :)

Warning: Smarty error: file:../../light3s/wimpy.php is not readable in /***/www/***/******/snapjazz/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

Warning: _include(): Failed opening '' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /***/www/*****/*******/snapjazz/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1925

Sitbyme you should specify absolute path to file. If security is enabled, then the php script must be located in the $trusted_dir path. Path to the included php file -- relative to $trusted_dir or absolute path.

Thanks for all your help.. I used an absolute path to a file not in the template files but in a directory in the root and still keeps telling me the file is not readable..

white flag is up and I give up... funny that in the ten years I have been doing things in websites things have not really gotten simpler but more complicated.. oh well such is life.

Thanks again
