[SOLVED] make a php include so it can be called from a variable,

[blueman378]

hi guys, i have a really long include eg,

include "folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/folder5/folder6/file.php";

 

and i want to make it so i can just call the include from a variable,

 

eg type

echo $file;

 

and it will run the include at the moment i have

$file = "include "folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/folder5/folder6/file.php";";

it simply outputs

include "folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/folder5/folder6/file.php";

 

 

thanks

echo outputs to the browser. you are looking for eval(). but better yet,

 

<?php
$theInclude = 'folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/folder5/folder6/file.php';

// code

include "$theInclude";

 

not sure you need the quotes around it...
