Need Help - Include php file

[sitiopt]

Need help,

i'm trying to use thumbalizr.com, to generate website thumbnails.

they have one api, to check if thumbnail is in cache.

Ho can tel me hown include the php file in template?

this the php file:
<?
define ("_THUMBALIZR",1);

require_once("config.inc.php"); // get config and functions
$image=new thumbalizrRequest(); // create object
$image->request("http://www.ebay.com"); // send request

if ($image->headers['Status']=="OK" || $image->headers['Status']=="LOCAL") { // if picture is available
$image->output(); //dump binary image data
} else {
print_r($image->headers); // print text result output - you can dump your own "queued" picture here
}

?>

In attachements are the other php files.

thanks

I'm just taking a stab at this, but I think your going to want this put in your Header.html file. Probably just after the part where it defines the CSS files.

<%php%>include ('http://www.yoururl.com/path/to/file'); <%/php%>

Bruce...

Just for my own knowledge.. I know what your saying about making an include file and calling it... That would definitely be a much cleaner way of doing it. But *could* you just insert it in the header file after defining the CSS files or that wouldn't work?!?!?

<%php%>include ('http://www.yoururl.com/path/to/file'); <%/php%>

Hi Bruce,

I try that solution but don't work.

<%php%>include ('http://www.yoururl.com/path/to/file'); <%/php%>

I get this error:

Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/.../domains/sitiopt.com/public_html/dir/templates_c/%%8A/8AA/8AAA3FA0%%detail_link.html.php on line 67

Can you help me?

Thanks

Frank, yes that should work too. But quite often you want to keep the code clean, using an include does this perfectly.

sitiopt The error you are getting is because your host is not allowing URL file access. Perhaps you could just use a relative URL like

<%php%>include ('/home/username/public_html/path/to/file'); <%/php%>

But that may not work either. Your best bet is to talk to your host and ask for URL file access to be enabled.
