Question

I have the following code:

if ($currentStage == 7)
{
  echo include("include/contentP7.php");

}

The content of “content7.php” exists however it is blank.
But when $currentStage is equal to 7 the page is displayed and a random “1” is outputted although “content7.php” is blank.

I assume it may be to do with returning “True” to the if statement. Why is this and how can I remove this “1”.

Answer 1

include returns TRUE upon success, when echoed, it becomes 1.

Omit the echo statement:

if ($currentStage == 7) {
    include("include/contentP7.php");
}

Include should be on its own.
