Re: How to take output from an include, and embed it into a variable?

Hi, The simplest way (actually the single way I know :) ) would be to capture the output using output buffering functions, something like this: // start output buffering ob_start(); // include the file that generates the HTML (or whatever content) include "...."; // get output buffer content $output=ob_get_contents(); // clean output buffer and stop buffering ob_end_clean(); // the content generated in the included file is now in $output variable // use it as you consider fit .........

I have an invoice table that is drawn on a number of pages, so I have all the logic in an include-file like this: include "invoicetable_bottom.php"; However, now I'm needing to take the output from that include file and pass it as an email. To do that, I need to somehow take the output from this include file and get it into a variable somehow. Is there a simple way to do this? Something like: $emailtcontent = include "invoicetable_bottom.php"?
