php string wont stick
I am kind of new to this but I put a PHP include string in an html page via the file manager and it doesn't show up on the web. It completely disappears from the source code when you view source on the web page,but it's still there in the cpanel version. How can this be remedied?
Hey,
Can you post all your code in the two files. The string being included and the file that calls the string up with include?
php string won't stick: reply to reply
Thanks for the reply. I hope this is what you were asking for...
First is the code right out of cpanel, where it's all one big block of type. Then I'll follow with the other code as it appears online, but I had to cut it to fit the maximum allowed on this forum... you can view the complete source at www.thecenteredplace.com on the index page.
The client knocked out some coding messing around in cpanel. The include statement at the top was what I re-inserted from the previous version of the page. I did not design this site; I think it was built with Front Page and since I use Dreamweaver I just tried cpanel to avoid compatibility issues with php.
OK here is cpanel:

I had to cut it here; I believe other than the top include statement they are identical, no?
Thanks again
php wont stick: This file may also be what you asked for
The code for dispmarq.php, the file that I believe calls the string up with the include is:
<? require_once('message.php'); ?>
<div style="position:absolute; top: 0; left: 0; font-size: 26px; color: #ff0033; background: cyan;">
<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" height="24px" width="100%" scrollamount="2" scrolldelay="65">
<b><?echo $message; ?> </b>***
</marquee></div>
PHP is server-side code, meaning when you go to view source of the page when you request it in your web browser, the PHP code will not appear.Originally Posted by bdatz

You may wish to check the error_log file in the directories of the files from which you are calling PHP to see what that file says may be going wrong. If those files do not exist, then it is likely that the page is functionally working properly, but there may be a logic flaw in message.php preventing it from properly displaying a message on those pages.
Have you tried
Note the ./ before what you are calling. Depends on your PHP setup, but it's good programming practice anyway.Code:<?php require_once ('./message.php'); ?>
Also - as David said, there may also be something wrong with the way message.php is setup/written. Just go over your code in that file in particular (if the above suggestion doesn't work) and make sure all your code is right.
Wow. Okay, it looks like you are expecting the file dispmarq.php to be included at the bottom of the page. If so, you've done your include wrong. Replace this:
with this:Code:<!--p echo $active; if ($active){ include('message/dispmarq.php'); }-->
and see how you make out. What you have is a server side include for Apache, not a PHP include.Code:<?php echo $active; if ($active){ include('message/dispmarq.php'); } ?>

Depends what he's using - but I was focusing more on the very first php include between <doctype> and <html> for include message.php
