cugopob.vlad Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Hello everyone, i have a question..... this might sound like a dumb question but i am working on a wordpress theme and i want to concatenate using the following.... <?php bloginfo('url'); ?> i want this to do this but it's not working..... <?php $path = 'test/test_path/file.php'; include(bloginfo('url') . $path); ?> can someone please help me Im not exactly sure that this will work, as I havent done anything with wordpress in a while, but from what they have on the wordpress functions info at http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/bloginfo <?php bloginfo('url'); would return http://example/home, so im assuming that you are just missing a backslash in you $path variable. It should look like <?php $path = '/test/test_path/file.php'; Edited January 6, 2012 by cugopob.vlad Quote
falkencreative Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 As far as I understand it, your issue is that the path is automatically printed to the browser -- it isn't intended to act as a variable like you are trying to use it. If you take a look at the description of bloginfo() in the Wordpress function reference, it says this: This always prints a result to the browser. If you need the values for use in PHP, use get_bloginfo(). http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/bloginfo So I'd suggest you look at get_bloginfo() instead. Quote
jbwebdesign Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Posted January 6, 2012 yes, that was the issue that i was having. It was printing to the browser instead of returning the result and allowing me to store it in a variable. Quote
