PHP includes HOWTO

[utvara]

Fastest and cleanest way of doing includes in Vivvo 4 is to include your PHP script output as HTML via vte:include

<vte:include href="http://www.vivvo.net/somepage.php"

Note: you have to have allow_url_fopen enabled on your server to use this inclusion

Alternatively you would have to do the following for your custom PHP code.

Create include wrapper function:
function include_something(){
ob_start();
include 'my_include.php';
$contents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $contents;
}

$template->assign('included_php', strval(include_something()));

Note: this is not the cleanest of ways to perform inclusion as you may pollute vivvo variable scope and break the functionality of included script due to various reasons. This is only suitable for including simple scripts.

For debugging purposes you can add error_reporting(E_ALL) before include 'my_include.php';

Please add 4.0 to the title of these new customisation threads you created in here, to separate them from the 3.5 version. Thanks.

I'm trying to include a PHP script that requires an input parameter from the user record being modified in (admin/user_edit/form.xml)

Can anyone tell me the best way to pass this parameter to the PHP?

<vte:include href="http://localhost/vivvo/admin/test.php?input_userid={user.userid}" />

Hi,

could somebody who made this feature work please help me out?

I created a simple php file, saved it as test.php and included it into a template:

<vte:include file="http://localhost/vivvo3/test.php" />

the page loads normally, but the content from test.php is not included.

Should I do something else or do I have to put something in the test.php file? I also tried to put only some text in it and then include it, but nothing happens.

allow_url_fopen is enabled on the server.

thanks

Since enabling allow_url_fopen is a security vulnerability, is there any other way we could do php includes? I have tried three options given below but didn't work.

With allow_url_fopen disabled, this method will not work. Instead, the file must be included with a local path, and there are three methods of doing this:

By using a relative path, such as ../includes/example_include.php.
By using an absolute path (also known as relative-from-root), such as /home/username/example.com/includes/example_include.php.
By using the PHP environment variable $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], which returns the absolute path to the web root directory. This is by far the best (and most portable) solution. The example that follows shows the environment variable in action:

Enabling allow_url_fopen isn't a security problem. For it to be considered this way, you need to have both of these: poorly written code and register_globals to be on.

As far as I'm aware of, there are no current vulnerabilities with Vivvo's latest version and most hosts have register_globals off so you should be good.
