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

Output buffering will do it. Also I am not sure but did you try retrieving content with fopen() ? Something like $file = 'invoicetable_bottom.php'; fopen("http://yoursite.com/folder/$file","r"); http://tr.php.net/function.fopen worth trying. Easier than output buffering -----Original Message----- From: Puiu Hrenciuc [mailto:hpuiu@xentra.ro] Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 1:36 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] 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 .........
