RE: [PHP] HTML file to a $var: Pls Help

There is another way to do this... ob_start(); readfile($file); $var = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); If you want to parse the file as PHP before inputting it into the variable, instead of using readfile() use this: eval("require(\"".$file."\");"); ================================================== eNetwizard Network http://www.enetwizard.net/default.ehtml ================================================== eNetwizard Content Management Server http://project.enetwizard.net/cmserver.ehtml ================================================== eNetwizard Managed Hosting Services http://hosting.enetwizard.net/hosting.ehtml ================================================== -----Original Message----- From: @ Edwin [mailto:copperwalls@hotmail.com] Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 11:06 PM To: Shane Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] HTML file to a $var: Pls Help Hello, "Shane" <shane@delaplaine.com> wrote: > Any way to plug an entire HTML file into a variable? > > I looked into file_get_contents() but that was CVS format only. > True. But you can make your own. Something like this: ---> function file_get_contents($filename) { $fp = @fopen($filename, "r"); if (!($fp)) { return 0; } while (!feof($fp)) { $temp .= fread($fp, 4096); } return $temp; } ------------------------------------------------------------ That was from the manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php Also, always check the "User Contributed Notes" for some good tips :) HTH, - E -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
