Includes Within An Include Problem
 

Has anyone ever ran into a problem when using the Smarty method for including a file {include file="../../includes/footer.inc"} when there are more PHP includes within the file that is being included? Because Smarty can't parse regular PHP, when I view a page's HTML I see the unparsed PHP code like <?php include("/directory/file2.php"); ?>. Just wondering if anyone had any way to get around this. I can't change all of my includes to smarty style because the code being included is used on many non-xcart pages.

frankdux,

This might help:

I read the Smarty manual page for includes, but it doesn't really offer any means for getting around the problem I am having. I am still getting unparsed PHP code when I have an include within an include. Someone may suggest to not have an include within an include, but I need to, due to the structure of my static/non-Xcart pages. Has anyone ever come up with a work around for this?

I thought that might work because if I can parse regular PHP using code {php}{/php} tags, then I should be able to parse any additional PHP that comes along as a result of the first PHP code. For some reason though, I am getting the following message:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare my_function() (previously declared in /directory/www/file.php:4) in /directory/www/file.php on line 4 .

It seems to think I am redeclaring one of my own functions but I don't see how that can be. Any ideas? 8O
