Question

Currently I use the file_get_contents command to include the html of a file. Now I added PHP to it and it is causing a problem. The PHP is being read as html and thus not executed. How can I retrieve the file content with the PHP executed?

Oh and I need the content in a tring. So include doesn’t work in this case I believe, right?

Thanks!

Answer 1

ob_start();
include 'file_to_include.php';
$contents = ob_get_clean();

The content of the included file (with PHP being executed) is in $contents.
