I'm currently creating a filter panel for a bespoke webform submissions table using Drupal JQuery AJAX. I have a button which posts data to my php include and returns the document without a hitch, I have an SQL query which when placed directly into my content in PHP mode returns fine.

Now here's my problem, when I insert the query in to my include file without any changes it returns only up to the point where my SQL starts.

Does anyone have any experience this or am I missing something fundamental?

Thanks

Solution,

Your PHP file is outside of Drupal, therefore it doesn't have access to any of Drupal's functions. Basically, you can't just add PHP files to a Drupal framework and call them directly. The processing code must exist within another module.

What I think you want to do here is create a Menu item in your module, then have the menu callback refer to whatever code you want it to implement.
