External file laod

[Rochtus]

Is it possible in PHP to first "do" a file in the extern file you include or require

And then show the result

Because if you include it, it includes the file and then loads it in the file where you included it..

what?

[Rochtus]

Is there a PHP function that before it includes the file

it runs the file?

[Ken2k7]

The file will be ran once it's included or required. I don't see the problem.

[Rochtus]

Yes i know

But i need to know or it is possible to first run it, and then include it

[jmr3460]

Do you want to write something to a file before anything is sent to the Browser then include is from inside your body tag?

[DarkSuperHero]

think of it this way....

PHP FILE 1 RUN
RUN
RUN
RUN
     PHP FILE 2 INCLUDED
     RUN
     RUN
     RUN
BACKTO FILE 1 RUN
RUN 
RUN
RUN
RUN
EOF;

 

hope that small diagram makes you see something, but that how php includes work...is that what your looking for ???

If I understand correctly, instead of actually including the PHP code into the file, you can use a file_get_contents on the file, and this will return the pre-ran source of the file (Like running it in the browser) instead of the PHP code.

 

Hope this helps.
