include with array

[Alexander Gausa]

hi
i want to include rows in an array using include. but this always ends with
an error. any idea?

$files=array(
array(1,2,3),
array(2,3,4),
include "addon"
array(4,5,6)
}

addon:
<?php
array(3,4,5),
array(6,7,8),
?>

It doesn't work this way (not that I aware off :)
include() can be used to include files.

$files=array(
array(1,2,3),
array(2,3,4),
array(4,5,6)
}

include "addon"

$newarray = array_merge( $files, $addon );

<?php

$addon=array(array(3,4,5),
array(6,7,8),
)
?>

Manual says:

"When a file is included, parsing drops out of PHP mode and into HTML mode
at the beginning of the target file, and resumes again at the end. For this
reason, any code inside the target file which should be executed as PHP
code must be enclosed within valid PHP start and end tags."

Testing shows that this working code:

<?php

$foo=array(1, 2, 3);
print_r($foo);

?>

cannot be rewritten as:

<?php

$foo=array(1, ?><?php 2, 3);

print_r($foo);

?>
Parse error: parse error, expecting `')'' in C:\tmp\borrame.php on line 3

I understand that you can't finish a PHP block in the middle of a sentence.

What you are trying to do here is employ include/require as if it were
a macro. My understanding is that it can't be used this way.

In fact your example can be made syntactically correct by putting a
comma after the include statement but all you'll get as return value
is either a 1 for success or false if the include failed.

But the code in the included file must be a complete statement, not a
fragment as you have shown above.

Try something like the M4 macro processor if you have an absolute need
for doing this.

why don't you try ... :)

$files[] = array(1,2,3);
$files[] = array(2,3,4);
include "addon"
$files[] = array(4,5,6);

addon:
<?php
$files[] = array(3,4,5);
$files[] = array(6,7,8);
?>

That works in PHP 3 but not not PHP 4. See
