I want to use my Oscommerce conditions of sale elsewere ??? How do I do it

I want to use my Oscommerce conditions of sale elsewere ??? How do I do it.

 

The conditions.php has the following

 

define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'Conditions of Sale');

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Conditions of Sale');

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'By purchasing go....... etc etc

 

My other conditons.php webpage is totally outside of the catalog directory.

 

But I am trying to use the following code on another page

 

<?php include("\catalog\includes\languages\english\conditions.php");

echo constant(TEXT_INFORMATION);

echo "help me";

?>

 

It echos the 'help me' message, but the include does not work, any ideas ???

it's forward slashes you need to use, not back slashes.

[gray_bale]

Using forward slashes it still does not work.

 

In trying other methods, such as

 

<?php

$file=fopen("..\catalog\includes\languages\english\conditions.php","r") or exit("Unable to open file!");

while (!feof($file))

{

echo fgetc($file);

}

fclose($file);

?>

 

It actually echos out only the TEXT_INFORMATION correctly, buy WHY?

 

If I use

 

<?php

$file = fopen("..\catalog\includes\languages\english\conditions.php", "r") or exit("Unable to open file!");

while(!feof($file))

{

echo fgets($file). "<br />";

}

fclose($file);

?>

 

It echos out

it is very simple. Copy one of the oscommerce files (like the catalog\conditions.php) to the root folder (I'm guessing is where you want it).

 

Then edit it, just before the first code line:

 

  require('includes/application_top.php');

 

add:

  chdir('catalog');

assuming the osc is installed in the catalog folder. Of course you can use a different filename. The string files remain in the osc languages folder. The only problem with this is, if you need links that point to files in the root folder you will have to add support functions or modify the tep_href_link function to handle those because you need the session.
