Including another page in your node (or another page)

PLEASE NOTE! The following snippet is user submitted. Use at your own risk! For users who have setup drupal using an alternate database to the default (MYSQL), please note that the snippets may contain some database queries specific to MYSQL.

When you visit a page in drupal the "center" part is what is generated from the path be it a calendar, a contact form, a view of a node or many other things. So what do you do if you want to include another pages content, say a calendar in your page? The snippet that follows shows how you can do this from a node, the same code could be used in other contexts.

menu_execute_active_handler() is responsible for executing the code associated with the current path. With a little bit of code you can have it do this for the path of your chosing. Small warning, pre 4.7 the callbacks did there own call to theme('page', ...) while in 4.7 they can (are suppose to?) return just the part they generate. The old style still works when visting a URL but will not work the way you want from the snippet. The point is many paths will work correctly but you may find some that do not.

To try this out create a node of type page.
Add a title and paste the following code in the body

Note that if instead of the expected content you see a '2' it means the path was not found (not valid) and a '3' means access was denied.
