Losing functionality inside include(' ')

[ande159]

I'm writing some PHP using the code section on one of my Wb pages and would like to include some code using the include(' '); statement.  However, when I do this, I lose functionality of the WB code.

For example, if I want to display "Hello <username>" using the WB code section, this works:

Code:

global $wb;
echo '<p>Hello: '.$wb->get_username().'</p>';

However, if within the WB code section I write

Code:

include('otherPphScript.php');

and within otherPhpScript.php I have

Code:

global $wb;
echo '<p>Hello: '.$wb->get_username().'</p>';

then I get no output whatsoever.

Anyone know what's going on?

Thanks.

You probably need to use the path to the included file so the page you are displaying it from can find it...

include(WB_PATH . '/mysubfolder/myscript.php');

No, that's not it. I have some other debug information that's getting displayed inside my included php file so I know it's running.

What must one do in order to access the $wb->get_username() function or the $_SESSION['USERNAME'] variable inside an included php file within a WB code section??

Since you include another file the global scope doesn't work!

You need to include the config.php and start the WB-class

Somthing like:

Code:

// Watch the path!!
require('../../config.php');

// Include the WB class
require_once(WB_PATH.'/framework/class.frontend.php');

// Create new frontend object
$wb = new frontend();

After this you'll have the wb variables and functions.

Good luck,
