Hey, Now, how about taking that variable and executing it? How might one do this? For instance: I might have an asp page on one server(Yeah, I have to use asp on that server) generate the results in the form of a bit of php code, and pass it to my php script via include method for execution. When the php page gets the results I could execute this? Would I have to put the ob_start()... ob_get_clean(); within a function? How would I execute it? I am thinking of this way as my php pages use a templating system, and I would like to take the data from the asp results and shoot them into my template object for rendering. just expanding off the conversation. -Brian > Michael Stearne wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I have an file that contains PHP code..variables, db, etc. Is it > > possible to include the evaluted contents of that file into a variable > > in another, the calling PHP script? > > > > Essentailly I am looking to do something like > > > > include("myCode.php") -> HTML Output -> $myVariable. > > > > I know could do this with something like > > $myVariable=file_get_contents("http://localhost/myCode.php") but I am > > not allowed to use urls in file opens. > > use output buffering functions: > > ob_start(); > include("myCode.php"); > $myVariable = ob_get_clean(); // available since 4.3.0 > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
