Cant get include to work...

Hi

This may be easy to most of you, but as a newbiw; I'm struggling.

I am bringing in an include into a php file, but cant run the commands
within the include.

As an example, Within my php page I write:

{php}include("content/myinclude.php");{/php}

and the contents of myinclude.php is:

{php}
print "Hello";
{/php}

This is just placeholder text

Then when I view the page in the browser I see that the include is
being brought in but is displayed as:

{php} print "Hello"; {/php}
This is just placeholder text

And the {php} doesn't execute.

I have set both the include and the page it is being brought into as
executable on the unix server it is sitting on.

I am right in saying that the result should only be:

Hello
This is just placeholder text

Aren't I?

Many Thanks

John

Are you actually writing {php} and {/php} in your code or is that just
for the sake of illustration?

I am new to php as well but I haven't seen that terminology so far.

Shouldn't it be:

print "Hello";
?>

This is as bad as it can get, but don't bet on it

Are you actually using {php}? Because that's not valid PHP syntax.
To execute PHP you need to start the section with

Example:

print "Hello World!"
?>

I would guess that you have been looking at some template engine that
uses {} to mark the beginning of sections, in this case a PHP section
and when parsing the template file the code between {php} and {/php} is
handled accordingly.

John,

Don't worry about it. We all were beginners at one time. And I'm sure
we've all made similar mistakes! :-)
