include file as a variable

[goltoof]

My catalog uses a template file to list product details.  One part of it is responsible for putting these details into nifty little tabs:

 

<?php
$template = '{magictabs style=black_rounded, tabwidth=110px}';
   $template .= 'Technical Specifications';
   $template .= '::';
   $template .= '<table colspan="3"><tr><td>';
   $template .= $details;
   $template .= '</td></tr></table>';
   $template .= '||||';
?>

 

I don't want it to output $details, I want it to output a separate script instead.

 

How do I include this separate file as a variable? I want this:

<?php include('specs.php'); ?>

to replace the $details variable.

Anyone?    Does this question not make sense?

You mean you want to take the contents of the specs.php file, and use that as a string?

 

$details = file_get_contents("specs.php");

 

Like that? If not, perhaps you should rephrase the question...
