include on tpl

I am building a website in PHP, and i have installed something to send e cards, one of the files to edit the e card look is a tpl file, and the php include does not work on this, how do i use an include on tpl, (which links to a php)

 

so your using what, the smarty template system?

Try using {include file="file.tpl"}

 

no, on the tpl file i want to include the php file
a code i have found, which does not work is
[TPL include='http://jokes.onlyican.com/nav_inc.php']
I don;t really want another include, I am already using 3 style sheets to do this site.

 

No thats not the correct way to use a php includes. The code I gave you is for using in the smarty template system to call another file.

If your in a php file calling another, then use this code:

<? include('file.php'); ?>

 

I am using this, and it is still printing everything between the tags

{php}include("http://jokes.onlyican.com/nav_include.php");{/php}

 

ok, well then try this:

{literal}<?php include ("http://jokes.onlyican.com/nav_include.php");?>{/literal}

 

ok, its not giving me the script no more, it is comming up blank

 

One of those three ways will work.

 

I give up and cheat, just paste the code instead of the include, just means i have to change that when i chage the include

 

You could do this if you gave your TPL file a PHP extension.

The TPL file was part of a program i installed on my site, in the end i did not like the way it was working, or looking, (beyond changes) so i deleted it. Got something better now.
