LumoNet PHP Include¶

What does it do?¶

This extension let you include complete external PHP solutions (e.g. message boards or image galleries) into TYPO3. With this extension you are able to select a local PHP script as well as a PHP script that resides on an external server via URL.LumoNet PHP Include collects all data sent to the page where the plugin is used and transfers it to the called script. The user can choose to make POST and GET available as well as cookie data (e.g. to empower the called application to use authentication mechanisms based on cookies). Local script can access this data via three arrays $postvars, $getvarsand $cookievars. For remote scripts all parameters are added to the URL of the script before calling it.

LumoNet PHP Include also provides the ability to strip the resulting content of a called remote app so one can use the PHP app stand-alone as well as integrated in a Typo3 website.

Requirements¶

none

Installation¶

No special installation is required.

For the inclusion of remote PHP scripts it is required, that the PHP installation on your server allows URLs to be opened with fopen and similar functions. This means you have to make sure, that there's a line in your php.ini file that reads

allow_url_fopen = On

Otherwise remote inclusion of PHP scripts via HTTP won't work.

Intergration of the Plugin¶

Create an ordinary page.

Add a content element „PHP Include“ to this page.

Now you can choose the type what kind of parameters the plugin collects the data. Spimply check the provided fields.

Choose the type of the script to include ether if it's in the local filesystem or an external URL.

Dependend on what you have chosen in step 4 you can now select a local file via the fileadmin or the URL or a remote PHP script.

If you include a script that returns a full HTML page, you can set „Strip non-body parts“ and have only displayed everything between opening and closing body tag.

If only a part of the called remote PHP script should be included use the two marker-fields to set the start-marker and the end-marker to do this. In the resulting content the marker mus be set as<!-- MARKER --> (Info: These markers do have nothing in common with the TYPO3 markers!)

To adjust the display of the included code you can use „Wrap output with div“ and have another div tag wrapped around the content to apply additional CSS directives on it.

You can also replace the marker ###PID### with the actual page id to make forms work again.
