PHP includes

The fastest and the cleanest way of doing includes in Vivvo 4 is to include your
PHP script output as HTML via vte:include
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:
PHP Code:
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 way 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';
