PHP include in a Smarty Template

[AdminAdmin is verified member.]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to include a PHP file inside a Smarty template?

1, I create the PHP file, it works fine
2, Empty TPL file except for {include_php file="path and filename of PHP file"}

3, main page

<?
session_start();
 //includes
 require("includes/globals.php");
    //assign smarty variables
    $smarty->assign("page_title","[I]title[/I]");
    $smarty->assign("page_content","[I]TPL file with PHP include[/I]");
    $smarty->display("template.tpl");
?>

The page appears with the correct template but the PHP page content does not appear, instead I get the error:

Warning: Smarty error: pathandfilename.php is not readable in /home/name/public_html/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

Admin

sure you are using the correct file path?

your include line should look like this:

{include_php file=$page_content}
