PHP Include

I have 30 text files in a folder. Each of them contains appointments / events for the said date, much like a calendar.

Now, what I am trying to do is, call this data into a CRM application.

I have a little function that checks the date for today, since today is 10th, it will give me the number 10.

So when I say, echo $today; and see the page in the browser it says 10.inc.
Now, I want to include 10.inc on this page.

How can I do that ? If I try to do

<?
include ('<?php require $today; ?>');
?>

and then display this in the browser, it says <? echo ('10.inc'); ?> instead of actually displaying the contents of the file. I know the problem and understand what is happening. I am sure I explained what I am trying to do. Can anyone help ?

 

Can't you just replace all that with:

include $today;

PHP:

I think you need to give more context otherwise.

 

<? include($today) ?>

Should do the trick.

You may also need to add a text handler to your .htaccess to identify .inc files:

AddType text/html .inc
AddHandler server-parsed .inc

 

Thanks a TON Gtech, it worked. I owe you a Lunch. nullbit, you too.

 

you use this
<?php include($today); ?>
