How to display other php file?

[rain13]

HelloHow I can display other php file in my file?I tried: echo FileRead("./chat/index.php");And that's FileRead()

function FileRead($sFile){$fd = fopen ($sFile , "r");if ($fd) {$fstring = fread ($fd , filesize ($sFile));fclose($fd);return $fstring;}else{echo '<font color="#FF0000">ERROR:</font> Can not read file '.$sFile;return false;}}

This code displays php part as plain text, and executes only html code. But how I can also execute php code? I wan't it look like iframe html. Reason why I read php file instead of using iframe is iframe doesn't look nice and it don't have dynamich height. So don't suggest me using iframe!If there's no way to do it with php, is there something nicer that iframe?

Hi, you could check evalhttp://co.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php(not quite sure this works for a whole file, maybe line by line)

If I understand what you want correctly, what you want is to use include("./chat/index.php") or require("./chat/index.php").Here are links to explanations about these functions.http://php.net/manual/en/function.include.phphttp://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.require.php

You wont see any PHP in its source code (what the browser shows as source code).PHP is parsed by the server and then its output is displayed by the browser.

Does phpbb generate temp file or it displays html directly? There alots of html files in template dir but it looks from browser like one nice html.

PHPBB has a complex template engine. Look in their includes folder for the template class file.
