I have one php page (index.php) with following contents:
<php
include("{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/somefunction.php")
echo "hello world";
?>
Now I want to read the contents of index.php via another php-file (test.php) The result I want to get is:
line 1: include("{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/somefunction.php")
line 2: echo "hello world";
This is what I already tried, but it won't work:
$phppage="{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/index.php";
$handle = fopen($phppage, "r");
if ($handle) {
while (($line = fgets($handle)) !== false) {
// process the line read.
echo $line;
}
fclose($handle);
}
else {
// error opening the file.
echo "An error occured";
}
It just echoes an empty string.
Problem solved :-)
Actually your code is working. The problem is it will not displayed on browser . Since it contain html special character like <
So either print The result with in a <pre> </pre> tag.
or use htmlentities()
echo htmlentities($line);
or remove <?php ?> from the file index.php
If you don't need the line numbers, which are not made by your code, you could do:
readfile('index.php');
or
echo file_get_contents('index.php');
Which will work as long as you work in the same directory. If you need line numbers:
$lines = explode("
",file_get_contents('index.php'));
foreach ($lines as $key => $line) echo "line {$key+1}: $line
";
And if you don't want to echo, well, that's obvious.
When you say "it won't work" - do you get any error messages? Have you tried switching on error_reporting and display errors?
This is possibly security related - no permission to open the file.
Try using a relative path and double check that there are no basedir restrictions in place.
Are you looking for this...
show_source()
This function shows your PHP code in the browser..
this is working try this
read.php as
<?php
$phppage=realpath("index.php");
$data = htmlentities(file_get_contents($phppage));
echo $data;
?>
index.php as
<?php
$absolute_path = realpath("somefunction.php");
include($absolute_path);
echo "hello world";
?>
