parsing include file

[purencool]

hi php freaks,

 

Is there a way to parse an include file  through the php engine and  then place

the contents into a variable?

 

$x = include ($myfile);

Use output buffering like this:

 

<?php

ob_start(); //start output buffer
include('/path/to/myfile.php');

$contents = ob_get_clean(); //copy output buffer contents into $contents

?>

A URL is not a file system path. They are completely different things.
