PHP Include - Getting Parse Error | MODX Community Forums

Hello

I have a client that I am rolling his site into MODx. The only issue I am having is with a PHP include.

I am use to pulling in a PHP Include via a snippet and always works fine but this time I get the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /usr/www/users/xxxxxxx/manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php(769) : eval()’d code on line 3.

The include is the following and this is what I inserted in the snippet:

<?php
include("http://www.abc123.org/feed-basic/mainpage.php?af=123")
?>

The only difference that I can see from this include from previous includes is that it is a URL being pulled from another domain. All previous includes I have pulled from a folder on the local domain.

How can I pull this feed into a page?

Please help

Regards,

Ken Roberts

Never Mind sad

It is my fault (user error). I fixed it.

Forgot to add the semi-colon

Thanks again,

Ken

Hi guys!

My Question is related to this here so I post it here:
I want to display this content: http://heartandtruelove.com/vimeo.php?id=123456

So i created the php into a snippet:

<?php
$imgid = $_GET['id'] . $id;
$hash = unserialize(file_get_contents("http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/$imgid.php"));
echo $hash[0]['thumbnail_medium'];
?>

and i can load the snippet like this:
[[!vimeo_thumb? &id=`123456`]]

BUT, here comes the problem, I don't get the same thumbnail link like here:
http://heartandtruelove.com/vimeo.php?id=123456

My guess was, that I am doing something wrong in the php code, what could it be?
thanks for fast response! =)
