Calling PHP into Block

New Member Joined: Jul 11, 2006 Posts: 6

I am trying to get the results of a php script to appear in a Block. I have it working using an iframe but I need the block to size dynamically instead of a fixed size as the content varies. when using the outout buffer, nothing appears in the block, not even "no content avialble for this block". Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong or give me an easier way? Here is the code I am using with the iframe part commented out.

Code:

<?php





 if (eregi("block-CurrentListeners.php",$PHP_SELF)) { 


     Header("Location: index.php"); 


     die(); 


 } 





 ob_start();  





  include("modules/geotracker/geotrack.php"); 





  $output = ob_get_contents(); 





  ob_end_clean();  





  $content = $output; 


      


?>





<?





//old shitz


/*





 if (eregi("block-CurrentListeners.php",$_SERVER[PHP_SELF])) {


//    Header("Location: ../index.php");


    die();


}





$content  .= "<p align='center'><center><iframe src=\"modules.php?name=geotracker&file=geotrack\" name=\"geotrack\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" align=\"top\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\">";


$content  .= " . \</iframe></center></p>";





*/





?>

To be honest, not making any sense for what you are trying to do, include will not put anything into the buffer, unless the included script does??

Whats the goal here?

Just for s*** and gigles, lets see the file your trying to include.

ok so youd like to include this script within a block, this should be easily done without the ob_get function, Let me try some things and I'll get back to you.

You should move the ob_end_clean(); below the content statement.
I may be wrong but from my understanding, it will start the output buffering, then clean the output, then the content will call to return the contents of the buffer, remember that the variable isnt being called on until AFTER the buffers been clean,

Know what I mean?

just try this:

Code:

<?php





 if (eregi("block-CurrentListeners.php",$PHP_SELF)) {


     Header("Location: index.php");


     die();


 }





 ob_start();





  include("modules/geotracker/geotrack.php");





  $output = ob_get_contents();





  ob_end_clean();





  $content = $output;


  ob_end_clean();


?>

ok tried that, it didn't get the desired results. It is kinda hard to explain what happened but nothing showed up in the Current Listener block and it wiped out the formating of the whole page.

my nuke site is here http://fm5280.com/nuke/
and my php site is here http://fm5280.com

the current listeners block is the second one down on the left panel on each one.

What is strange is I can access it (the original code) directly and it produces results http://fm5280.com/nuke/modules.php?name=geotracker&file=geotrack

My apologies wrong code

Try this:

Code:

<?php 





 if (eregi("block-CurrentListeners.php",$PHP_SELF)) { 


     Header("Location: index.php"); 


     die(); 


 } 





 ob_start(); 





  include("modules/geotracker/geotrack.php"); 





  $output = ob_get_contents(); 





  





  $content = $output; 


  ob_end_clean(); 


?>

I had stumbled across a solution by putting http://fm5280.com/nuke/modules.php?name=geotracker&file=geotrack in the include and it worked. thanks for your help.
