Re: Re-engineering print()

Here's what you wrote, 01-01-11:

$s = sprintf("%s", implode("\n", file('template.php'))); Why this??? It's redundant, isn't it? Wouldn't $s= implode("\n", file('template.php')); do it? Gfunk

Gfunk, and Mr. Murray, I guess I didn't write my query very clearly. What I am looking for is not just storing the PHP in a variable (that, as you both have pointed out, is easy enough), but I want to EXECUTE the PHP script (including it's print statements and everything) and instead of having that output go directly to the browser, I want it to go to the variable. The solutions offered certainly do put the PHP into a variable, but it doesn't execute the PHP and have the output of the executed PHP get stored into the variable. Thanks for familiarizing me with implode(), though, as I'm sure to use that often.
