I am trying to read the contents of a "PHP" page for an audio player and put it into a textarea to be copied and pasted into an "HTML" page. The trouble is the textarea shows unparsed PHP code and I just want the HTML. The code is: $player = file_get_contents('player.php'); //Strip out unnecessary HTML Code if(preg_match('/<!-- Start Player Code -->(.*)<!-- End Player Code -->/s', $player, $matches)) { $code = $matches[1]; } echo "<textarea name=\"textarea\" cols=\"70\" rows=\"15\">" . $code . "</textarea>"; echo "<BR>"; echo "<a href=\"player.php\">Click Here</a> to view the player \n"; Looked at using eval() but found this: Kepp the following Quote in mind: If eval() is the answer, you're almost certainly asking the wrong question. -- Rasmus Lerdorf, BDFL of PHP (Hmmm...)
