Second, before the PHP code inside colors.php I want to be able to replace data inside that file. For example: $file = str_replace( "Green" , "Orange" , $file ); Lewis "Michael Sims" <michaels@crye-leike.com> wrote in message news:MIEKLEPPLHOCJNAGNGPHMEBACHAA.michaels@crye-leike.com... > OrangeHairedBoy wrote: > > I would like to use eval() to evaluate another PHP file and store the > > output of that file in a string. > > You could use output buffering to do this a bit more easily, I think: > > ob_start(); > include('colors.php'); > $colors = ob_get_contents(); > ob_end_clean();
