Re: Re: Including variables

Just dont forget that eval assumes php code, so escape from it first using ?> Erwin wrote:

I'm having quite a dumb problem with PHP... It's probably more a result of brain freeze than anything else, but if anyone could help it'd be very much appreciated. Basically, I need to include() the contents of a variable. Saving the contents to a temporary file and then using include() would be inconvenient.

Try using eval (http://www.php.net/eval), You could also write the contents to a file generated in a tempfile. Generate the filename with tempnam (http://www.php.net/tempnam), open it, fill it with the contents of the variable, close it, include it and delete it (with unlink, http://www.php.net/unlink).
