RE: [PHP] Capturing Eval'd things into a variable...

Where does my server go in these cases? Every request means two or even more requests to the http server? Are there any planned functions for this type of thing in PHP?! I once used a language which had one of the only, and yet most well planned ways of accomplishing this type of thing... All you had to do was put what you wanted captured into the default variable in the middle of two functions, and voila! such as: StartCapture(); PHP CODE EndCapture(); Perl is also a little bit more helpful in thsi aspect, it allows us to at least use EVAL as a function (ruterns data)... The use of EVAL is only for running user-given code? > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason Brooke [mailto:jason@qgl.org] > Sent: Monday, November 27, 2000 1:21 AM > To: Joe Conway; Roy Nasser; Php (E-mail) > Subject: Re: [PHP] Capturing Eval'd things into a variable... > > > > Or just $variable = implode('', > > file("http://www.yourhost.com/path/to/tagetpage.php")); > > jason > > > > I'm not sure I completely understand what you're trying to > accomplish, but > > it sounds like you want the html output of a php page captured to a > > variable.
