Change theme to use php for header

Nuke Soldier Joined: Aug 28, 2003 Posts: 16

I am currently useing a theme I have heavily modified and I am wanting to setup so I can use header.php instead of header.html.... I tried changing the template call in the theme.php to header.php but it does not work. Is this possible?

Let's assume your header.php file does all the needed parsing that the the theme.php did, then all you need to do is this (replacing all the header.html code):

include('header.php');

I done that cleared out the header.html file and just had include('header.php'); in it and it just passes the text... does not pass it as PHP...

Basically the header.php file I want to use is one I made that has a little bit of PHP code before it echo's out the original header.html content with some variables within it.... it does not take the place of all the header function in the Theme.php file...

I am building the header for a non-profit Radio station site I am building with a friend and we want the current station info on the header... I have all that working fine here http://twizted.kicks-Rainbow Brite.net/themes/Digital_Radiance/header.php
which is for the site theme here http://twizted.kicks-Rainbow Brite.net/

The header code is :

Code:

<?php

error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

require "scxml-obj.php";
require "config.php";

$serv1 = new SCXML;

$serv1->set_host("$host");
$serv1->set_port("$port");
$serv1->set_password("$password");
$serv1->set_url("$url");

if (!$serv1->retrieveXML()) DIE ("$error1");

$con_dsp=$serv1->fetchMatchingTag("STREAMSTATUS");
if (!$con_dsp == "1") DIE ("$error2");

$cur_listen=$serv1->fetchMatchingTag("CURRENTLISTENERS");
if ($cur_listen == "") {
$cur_listen = 0;
}
$peak_listen=$serv1->fetchMatchingTag("PEAKLISTENERS");
$max_listen=$serv1->fetchMatchingTag("MAXLISTENERS");
$title=$serv1->fetchMatchingTag("SERVERTITLE");
$song_title=$serv1->fetchMatchingTag("SONGTITLE");

$con_listen=$serv1->fetchMatchingArray("CONNECTTIME");
$con_song=$serv1->fetchMatchingArray("TITLE");
$con_song_print=array_slice($con_song, 1, $maxsongs);
$con_time=$serv1->fetchMatchingArray("PLAYEDAT");
if (preg_match ("/^[0-9]{10}$/", $con_time[0])) {
for ($i=0; $i<count($con_time); $i++) {
$con_time[$i] = date('H:i:s', $con_time[$i]);
}
$playtime = $con_time;
}
else {
$playtime = $con_time;

As you can see it requires two other files... also... If I could figure out how to pass the first part of that code up to the point I start the echo's I think I could figure out how to manage with keeping it a header.html file... since you can pass var's through it anyway (such as $theuser)

Easy.. make sure $theuser is defined in your theme.php before you do your include. Your header.php should be able to use that variable directly.

haha.... your not following me...
The $theuser was an example Wink

....

What I am trying to do is parse a whole diff set of files for gathering the info I need from the XML output of Shoutcast server....

Basically I have this

Code:

error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

require "scxml-obj.php";
require "config.php";

$serv1 = new SCXML;

$serv1->set_host("$host");
$serv1->set_port("$port");
$serv1->set_password("$password");
$serv1->set_url("$url");

if (!$serv1->retrieveXML()) DIE ("$error1");

$con_dsp=$serv1->fetchMatchingTag("STREAMSTATUS");
if (!$con_dsp == "1") DIE ("$error2");

$cur_listen=$serv1->fetchMatchingTag("CURRENTLISTENERS");
if ($cur_listen == "") {
$cur_listen = 0;
}
$peak_listen=$serv1->fetchMatchingTag("PEAKLISTENERS");
$max_listen=$serv1->fetchMatchingTag("MAXLISTENERS");
$title=$serv1->fetchMatchingTag("SERVERTITLE");
$song_title=$serv1->fetchMatchingTag("SONGTITLE");
$server_genre=$serv1->fetchMatchingTag("SERVERGENRE");
$aim=$serv1->fetchMatchingTag("AIM");
$irc=$serv1->fetchMatchingTag("IRC");
$con_hostname=$serv1->fetchMatchingArray("HOSTNAME");
$con_listen=$serv1->fetchMatchingArray("CONNECTTIME");
$con_song=$serv1->fetchMatchingArray("TITLE");
$con_song_print=array_slice($con_song, 1, $maxsongs);
$con_time=$serv1->fetchMatchingArray("PLAYEDAT");
if (preg_match ("/^[0-9]{10}$/", $con_time[0])) {
for ($i=0; $i<count($con_time); $i++) {
$con_time[$i] = date('H:i:s', $con_time[$i]);
}
$playtime = $con_time;
}
else {
$playtime = $con_time;
}

if ($timeat == "0") {
$playat = array_shift ($playtime);
} else {
$playtime = $playtime;
}

that needs to be run then I can just pass the vars I need such as $song_title, $server_genre ect ect in the regular ol' html file.... lets forget I even have the header.php.... I want to the above code to parse so I can pass the new var's through my header.html...

When I put the above code into my theme.php file all I get is a white page... I am not sure how it should be inserted into the file which is why it is crashing the theme.. any suggestions?

Hmm.. it is killing your theme script eh? I'm not sure... maybe the require of the config.php....

I'll try adding to a theme and see what my code does.

I can send you the Station Info Display if you want. Unless you have a station you have access to I would have to leave it configured for mine.. lmk and I will e-mail them to you if you leave me an addy.... if you dont get back within around 20 minutes I will not be back till Friday evening so just let me know and I will send them by then....
