putting an html page inside news

Is there a way to put html into news or to make a module that will show an html page without covering whole page? I tried to put it in an index.php file and put it in a folder as a module, but when i open it it is covering my whole page and i see my home and the module page....i want it to show up like a block inside with my blocks still showing on both sides. any ides here would be appreciated. I am running 7.5

Here you go... create a php block file named... block-Whatever.php then enter this code

<?php
ob_start();
include("somefolder/yourpage.html");
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$content = $output;
?>

put it in the blocks folder... and the html file in another folder... and activate the bolck in your admin... make sure to change the path to your actual html file

thats it... good luck

HTML will work in the news module but is limited to the allowed html set in your config.php and script, style tags are forbidden elsewhere in any $_POST by default.
