Hi Chris, As I read in the documentation it only takes the content of the file. If there is a script in the file I want that to be fun first. A file like this: ---------- HTLM content <?php echo 'Hello World'; ?> HTML content ---------- I want the result from my function to be ---------- HTLM content Hello World HTML content ---------- The file_get_contents('file.html') will give me ---------- HTLM content <?php echo 'Hello World'; ?> HTML content ---------- Or am I not correct?
