PHP requires or include

[andytho]

I need some PHP help please?!

I've got a page (or rather a news page) I need to display on my homepage. I've done a little test to see if I can bring a test page in from my Common folder and it worked, the code was as follows: <?php require($template->get_template_dir('test.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/test.php');?>

The page in question is called shownews.php and needs to come from a folder called Freshlypeeled on the top level of the website.

Thanks in advance

Try adding code to define_main_page.php via
zencart admin..

I've added the code to define_main_page.php and it works fine but what I need to know is what bits of code do I need to change (in the following line of code - <?php require($template->get_template_dir('test.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/test.php');?>)

in order to get my page called shownews.php to display on the main page? Sorry if I'm not making much sense but it's confusing me?!

Depends what is url of your zencart website...
so that paths are correct for calling php file required.

www.peelerboardwear.co.uk

And what is EXACT url of php page you wish to show?

[andytho]

This is the URL - http://www.peelerboardwear.co.uk/fre...d/shownews.php

[misty]

This is the URL - http://www.peelerboardwear.co.uk/fre...d/shownews.php

Page link you have supplied is not valid/unobtainable.

Hi, you can' t actually view the page link but it can be viewed when I put it in some PHP includes tags, this is definitely the link I need to bring in to my homepage though.

The link I posted previously ../shownews.php is created from a little PHP news program called Cute News.

Hi again, I've uploaded an example so that you can view the news page - www.peelerboardwear.co.uk/freshlypeeled/example1.php

This is where the news needs to come from for the home page. Please can you supply the code I need to insert it into my main page?

Cheers,
Andy
