I have DirectPHP installed and I'm trying to call a local text file.

I've tried includes, file_get_contents and no joy just an error.

Please help - Am I trying to do it in a restricted way?

I tried:
<?php include "http://www.example.co.uk/text.txt"; ?>

and:
<?php $homepage = file_get_contents("http://www.example.co.uk/text.txt');echo $homepage;?>

both relative and absolute urls?

this is the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /plugins/content/DirectPHP/DirectPHP.php(58) : eval()'d code on line 1

<?php echo "test123";?> works fine btw

Hi,

Please put the above into a standalone .php file somewhere on your server.

Then load this file.

Please let me know what error messages you see on the screen.

If you did not see any error messages, please remember to turn on error_display in your php.ini. (you can do a quick google to see how to turn on the error_display. Also, if you change the php.ini, you might need to restart your web server so that the setting is reloaded.)

I believe it's the setting of your php.ini that does not allow remote include: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1158348/including-a-remote-file-in-php

But let's take a look at the error message and we can confirm this.

Hi it still gives the same error - I cannot edit the php.ini - I'm on a shared server.. I can add to the htaccess though?

Hi,

You are still using DirectPHP. It won't help.

What I've asked you to do earlier is to copy your PHP statement and put it in a standalone .php file somewhere on your serve. Say, if you call it test1.php, and you place it in your root folder. Then do a http://yourserver.com/test1.php

Please let me know what you error message on the screen.
