I'm some what of a noob in PHP, but I managed to install the system with out any problem and the admin interface and the index.php page are working fine, but when I try to include it elsewhere I always get an error.

The system is installed at http://nunadesign.net/news/ and the index.php shows up fine. Then I created a file at http://nunadesign.net/news/testing.php that only contains <?php include 'index.php'; ?> and I always get this error " Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/nunastrax/nunadesign.net/news/testing.php on line 4 "

hope someone can enlighten my.

best regards,
Kbki

Can you paste all of the code you have in your testing.php file.

Hi thanks for a super fast reply.

At the moment I just have this..

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<?php include 'index.php'; ?>
</body>
</html>

Strange, not sure why it's giving an error. I would suggest trying these combinations to see if any work.

Code:


<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<?php 
include 'index.php'; 
?>
</body>
</html>

Code:


<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<?php 
include "index.php";
?>
</body>
</html>

Hi,

I tried both and they don't work. I'm going to see if I can install it on a new server and test it there, I'm thinking it can be related to that.

Thanks for your help.

This is due to path to config db as well as function is not clearly stated inside the script so you cant just include index.php into another page without any modification to default script.

It would be better if you have a var that can be change for where the news folder located.

Also function list on this news is something that always being used by other script eg: redirect() and much more. You should use more unique name for function else you will have problem to integrate this to some cms.

I do suggest that you can make a fix for this as soon as possible.
