no I think he needs file_get_contents();

While that will certainly read PHP into a variable, it won't evaluate the contents. Then you're stuck with eval. This has the undesirable effect of not being able to take advantage of any opcode cache that may be installed.

true, but Ross did not mention anything about evaluating/running code in the included file , if he need thats then yes your option is better. -- Regards, Clive.
