Can I "include('details.htm')" in a product discri

[EDD2225]

I have 60 products that are basicly the same and would like to include canned text with each one. Rather than repasting the lengthy text each time in order to get it to display on the page, I would like to simply drop in a php include line, in my product discription, to automatly insert a htm file into the discription.


Is this possible and can somebody give me the syntax?

I know I could simply creat the page as a web page link, but I really wanted it diplayed with the discription.

I tried this..

<?php

include('/catalog/DecalMenu.htm');

?>

I even tried this....

<!--WEBBOT BOT="Include" U-Include="cataolg/DecalMenu.htm" TAG="BODY" startspan -->

Suggestions would be great.

If I understand your question correctly, I suppose you could put the product description in "catalog/product_info.php" - either put your text in the HTML or put a php include to a file there as outlined below.

Around line 137 look for:

<p><?php echo stripslashes($product_info['products_description']); ?></p>

and put this directly above it:

<p><?php include('/catalog/DecalMenu.htm'); ?></p>

Another way (if you're comfortable with SQL commands) may be to simply put it in as the default text in the "products_description" column in the "products_description" table in the database. That way, when you create a new instance of this product it will have the product description text in there already.

As far as adding the description to over 60 products already in the database, you could do a SQL command like this to update every product description in one shot:

In the "products_description" table run this SQL command:
(NOTE: This will write over existing product descriptions)

UPDATE products_description SET products_description = 'Your Product Description Here';
