How to echo the contents of one page in another page?

Question

I am doing client customizations and i have multiple files. If for example i want to show the code of page 1.php on page home.php, how can i do it by echoing it or something. Please help me. Thanks!

Answer 1

You can include files in a PHP script by adding this your home.php file:

if ($example){
include("page 1");
}
else {
include("Error.php");
}

Or another way to do is file_get_contents():

$content = file_get_contents($file_path);
echo $content;

Answer 2

If including the scripts won't work, then you will need the workaround over the local webserver to merge just the contents (still need to cut out the content/body part):

print(file_get_contents("http://$_SERVER[SERVER_NAME]/page1.php"));

But a saner solution is most always just using an iframe and have the page inclusion handled by the browser:

<iframe src="page1.php" width="500" height="400" ></iframe>

Or more newfangled with some jQuery:

<div id="page1"></div>
<script>$("#page1").load("page1.php body");</script>
