Balbooa Help Center: include() in PHP Scripts section not working (1/1)

Hi,

We are trying to include a separate PHP script upon form submission. We've done this successfully with your module on other websites running Joomla 3, but this website is running Joomla 4 and we can't get it to run the external file.

This is what we've got:

include('/customcode/bookingemail.php');

We've stripped back the external file for test purposes and it just has a simple mail() command in.

We've checked the path to the external file is correct, and that it has 755 permissions.

Do you have any advice please?

Thanks,

Chris

I believe I may have fixed this. Instead of a straight PHP include, I've done the following:

define('_JEXEC', 1);    
use Joomla\CMS\Factory;
define('JPATH_BASE', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/..'));
require_once JPATH_BASE . '/includes/defines.php';
require_once JPATH_BASE . '/includes/framework.php';
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
$crlf		= PHP_EOL;

require_once JPATH_BASE . '/customcode/bookingemail.php';

Something to be aware of for anyone else using Joomla 4.
