I have a script that calls a function called conbox. This function creates
the HTML to a content box and you also pass a file to be included into the
content area of the box.
The function echos out some of the HTML, then does a simple include(), and
then echos out the rest of the HTML.
I'm trying to do this with another file containing PHP code and HTML
together, it's a file that fetches and displays information from a database.
The file is fine by itself, but once I include it into the actual content
box, it does a die(). I have it set to do that if there's a MySQL error, but
it doesn't output any error at all, and the file works by itself. Here is
the code that fetches from the database:
<?php
mysql_select_db($database_default, $default);
$query_headlines = "SELECT id, headline, short, datetime FROM snews ORDER BY
datetime DESC";
$headlines = mysql_query($query_headlines, $default) or die(mysql_error());
$row_headlines = mysql_fetch_assoc($headlines);
$totalRows_headlines = mysql_num_rows($headlines);
?>
And here's where it displays:
<table width="98%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"
bordercolor="#616161" align="center" style="border-collapse:collapse">
<tr bgcolor="#E0EBF1">
<td align="left" style="padding:3px 3px 3px 3px;"><a
href="snews.php?id=<?php echo $row_headlines['id']; ?>"
class="headline"><?php echo $row_headlines['headline']; ?></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
This is fine, completely fine, by itself (if I include the database
credentials of course, but if I leave that include in there, it still won't
work). I've already included that file into the file it's being included
into anyway so it should work, but it simply isn't. Here's the conbox
function with less of the echo:
function conbox($title, $contentfile, $content, $width, $height) {
echo 'Stuff...';
if($content == '') {
if([EMAIL PROTECTED]($contentfile)) {
echo 'content unavailable';
}
}
if($content != '') {
echo '<p align="left">'.$content.'</p>';
}
echo 'stuff';
}
Like I said, all the database credentials and everything is included into
the final file, but it simply won't work. Any ideas here?
Thanks,
