Hi all,

Searched and didn't come across this?

In the Products Description I want to put a php tag in like:

<?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'xyz_warranty.php'); ?>

This could be then maintained by one page (xyz_warranty.php) instead of going in and editing many product pages that have this redundant info (when editing is needed).

I made a warranty.php (located in the incl/modules) but using the above php tag inserted into the products description does nothing (page displays, just no module)


Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

I prefer to use an html output.

in your includes folder create a folder and name it text_output

inside that folder create a html page without header and footer tags and to do this you will just open notepad and create your html and save it as warranty.html

In your product discription use this code

<?php include('includes/text_output/warranty.html'); ?>

This can be placed in a table if you would like

You may have to do something like this:

eval() is a useful function but an ENORMOUS security hole to be avoided where at all possible.

Perhaps something like the following could work.

In the products description where you want your code to appear just put the following: -

__XYZ_WARRANTY_PLACEHOLDER__

In the page where products description will be printed do something like as follows: -

<?php
ob_start();
include(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'xyz_warranty.php');
$warranty_info = ob_get_clean();
$product_info['products_description'] = str_replace('__XYZ_WARRANTY_PLACEHOLDER__' , $warranty_info, $product_info['products_description']);
?>

Then print $product_info['products_description'] it should contain your code.
