How to call phtml file in Magento 2

In this article, we will explain how to call a phtml file in Magento 2. In this, we cover how to create a phtml file and different ways to call phtml files in Magento 2.

Before calling the phtml file, you must create a phtml file in Magento 2.

  • Now you should create a test.phtml file at app/design/frontend/{Package}/{theme}/Magento_Theme/templates/html/ and add your code to this file those you want.
Now we can call the newly created phtml file from a layout XML, blocks, and CMS pages and another phtml file.

Calling phtml file in XML layout

  • You can create a layout file to call the phtml file into the home page. create a layout file called “cms_index_index.xml” in your theme. Insert the code below into the layout file.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="content">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="test_file" template="Magento_Theme::html/test.phtml"/>
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

Calling phtml file in blocks and cms pages

  • If you’re creating a static block or static page and want to call a phtml file into the CMS block or CMS page, copy the code below and add it to the block or page.
{{block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="test_file" template="Magento_Theme::html/test.phtml"}}

Calling phtml file in another phtml file

  • If you need to call a custom PHTML file into another PHTML file, copy the below code, give a path to your newly created PHTML file into the setTemplate argument, and paste the code into another PHTML file that you want.
<?= $this->getLayout()->createBlock("Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template")->setTemplate("Magento_Theme::html/test.phtml")->toHtml(); ?>
