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.
