使用file_get_contents发出解析PHP

Question

I'm loading my nav-bar from one php file, so I can just edit one file to update the whole site.

Code:

function getRsc($url){
    return file_get_contents($url.'.php');
}

That was working file until I tried to add actual php to the file.

  <?php
      if(isLoggedIn()){
        echo("<a class='btn btn-success' href='/account.php'> My Account </a>");
      }else {
        echo("<a class='btn btn-success' href='/login.php'> Login/Signup </a>");
      } 
  ?>

It just displays the PHP as text, not parsing it. How can I accomplish this? Thanks.

Answer 1

You can't file_get_contents a PHP file on the local file system like that. It won't get executed, you'll just get back the plain-text, unprocessed code.

You need include or require instead for a local PHP file.

Answer 2

Why aren't you just doing a regular require ? eg,

<?php

require "path/to/nav-bar.php";

You're not supposed to use file_get_contents to load and run a PHP file. Take a look at require .
