Operating system: Linux
PHP version:      4.3.1
PHP Bug Type:     Feature/Change Request
Bug description:  include/require that return

Currently (obviously), include(_once) and require(_once) process the php
file that they are called with and output of that file is sent.  However,
it would be useful to store an included file's output in a variable
instead of sending it to the user.  For example:

include.php:
<?php echo "<b>Bold Text</b>"; ?>

include("include.php");
would send <b>Bold Text</b> to the user, however, the hypothetical
function (or construct) includeto would store all of include.php's output
in a variable.  So:

$output = includeto("include.php");

$output would contain "<b>Bold Text</b>"

If there is already a way to accomplish this, I apologise, but could not
find one.
