How do I echo include?

[bgbs]

I'm using this php echo code and in the last <li> that is empty right now I'm trying to include a file.

 

echo "<ul>";
			echo "<li><a href=\"index.php#$ad\">Trade Floor</a></li>";
			echo "<li><a href=\"user.php?v_id=$toid\">My Account</a></li>";
			"<li></li>";
			echo "</ul>";

This is the code below with the include and some more code below that I'm trying to put into echo.  Maybe using echo is not the best way in this case, all help and suggestions appreciated.

 

 

include 'inc.last_search.php'

			$toName = ""
			$toEmail = ""
			$fromName = ""
			$fromEmail = ""
			$emailSubj = ""
			$emailBody = ""
			$emailSent = "yes"

include and echo don't work that way. All include does is more or less take the code from the file you include, and plop it wherever the include line was in your program. If you want to echo stuff from an include file, then echo it directly inside the include file

Ok so help me out, how do I code this correctly?

Will this work fine then?

 

                          echo "<ul>";

echo "<li><a href=\"index.php#$ad\">Trade Floor</a></li>";

echo "<li><a href=\"user.php?v_id=$toid\">My Account</a></li>";

include "inc.last_search.php";

 

$toName = "";

$toEmail = "";

$fromName = "";

$fromEmail = "";

$emailSubj = "";

$emailBody = "";

$emailSent = "yes";

echo "</ul>";

Put that piece of code that you want to echo in a separate php script -

 

then do an if statement

if( $a == $b)

{

include("script_with_echo.php");

}

else

{

include("another_script_with_echo.php");

}

 

Obviously the if statement will be made to what ever condition you are wand to set- I just used $a == $b as an example.

 

Does that give you an idea to build upon?
