Re: how to assign a parsed file to a variable?

Vboy, You could: 1) use the ob_* functions as several other people have explained 2) omit the start/end php tags in your include file and only add them (if you need them) to the variable containing the code when you are actually ready to display. You may have another good reason not to do it this way, but it's a thought.
