I got a site that's built with a php/html/css template. i've used html and css to format the page and php to include functions to 3 divs that i call contentMenu, contentMain and contentRight. then i have lots of other php files with these functions in them, that when they load (by clicking a link to them) the file loads and get formated by the included template file in the end. example of how they look:
Code:
<?php
$sPage = 'main';
function contentMenu() {
?>
<h3>left side text</h3>
<?}
function contentRight() {
?>
<p>rightside text</p>
<?}
function contentMain() {
?>
<?php
include ('news/index.php');
?>
<?}
include('lib/php/template.php');?>
As you can see i've included the "news/index.php" as i should in my contentMain function. but here's the problem. when i do this i get ALOT of mysql errors this is what i get:
Code:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'tidacese'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home2/tidacese/public_html/tidancenew/news/mysql.php on line 23

Arguments:
however, when i make a test.php file that only holds the included "news/index.php" everything works fine. This seemes really odd and strange to me do you have any ideas on how to resolve this in any way?
Not on this site but on the same web-server, yes.
but that's another database with another database account.
However i might have a folder that i can't delete from an old news system on this site. But all the code that's related to that is on another template and another page.
when i do include the news directly into the template file it loads as it should....
so what seems to go wrong is when i try to include the news in a seperate php file that loads through my template...
any ideas?
would be great to resole this cause then i can use this script on multiple pages and only show different categories to be able to dynamically update most of the site.

The problem occurs when you try doing the include within a function, for example
Code:
<?php function test(){ include 'news/index.php'; } ?>
Because it's within the function it's not able to access some variables which is a problem I've overlooked as I never though to test for includes within functions.
To make this work would be extremely tedious, you would need to manually make all the variables that the script needs to access global by specifying them before the include, for example I just tested this
Code:
<?php function contentMain() { global $cfg, $smilies, $filters; include 'news/index.php'; } ContentMain(); ?>
Which displayed the news without any errors, but when you click to view the full news article it throws more errors because there's a lot more variables that would need to be specified.
My best advice would be for the time being not specify the include within the function.
I've made this into a bug report so this limitation will definitely be fixed in the next version of the script.
It's a really good and nice system you got and excellent support. thanks a lot chris.
for now i've included the news directly in the main template with an if function that checks the page's name that i define at the top of every page. so if my page is 'currentnews' then it will show the news from the template. this is a good workaround for now :) but thanks for looking into the matter for future releases. :)
I got another question, is it possible to relocate your "powered by N-13 News" to my footer so it's on all pages? the reason for this is that i cot a scrolling "newsticker" at the top but the "powered by N-13 news" gets under the news in a separate div and make the newsticker really weird.
would be great if i could put the text in the center or on the left hand side in my footer...
