using include() within an echo as variable

[leijae]

$desc = include($path/$file/descriptions.txt);
echo "<div class='sshot'><img src='$path/$file/screenshot.jpg' /><div class='randcont'> $desc </div>";

 

i've tried concatenation and:

 

echo "<div class='sshot'><img src='$path/$file/screenshot.jpg' /></div><div class='randcont'>";
include($path/$file/descriptions.txt);
echo "</div>";

 

errors:

wrap your include in quotes

 

include("$path/$file/descriptions.txt");

[Pikachu2000]

Try putting the path in double quotes.

 

$desc = include("$path/$file/descriptions.txt");

And just to preempt your next post, you'll probably want file_get_contents() instead of include.
